additional information the kinetic data do not follow a simple Michaelis-Menten relationship, but can be attributed to catalysis by two different forms of the enzyme that have different Km-values Homo sapiens

More wild-type enzyme and variant F12L exist in different oligomeric states. The wild-type enzyme exists as an octamer and the F12L variant exists as a hexamer. It appears that any equilibrium between octamer and hexamer most probably proceeds through the interconversion of hugging dimer and the detached dimer Homo sapiens
