45triangle) and TCDL (open triangle), in reaction mixtures containing LinBMI wild-type (a), and seven

46point mutants of LinBMI (b-h). Values given are the mean of triplicates. Kinetic data were fitted to 47the irreversible two-step reaction structure of -HCH conversion to TCDL via PCHL (Scheme 1 in 48Materials and Methods) by using GEPASI 3.2 software (Mendes 1997) and shown in solid lines.

49The specificity constants and their standard errors for both reaction steps (k1 and k2) were obtained 50from the calculation (Table 1). The same data were used that have already been published by Ito et 51al (2007) (panels d and g) and Okai et alF (2013ig. )S (panels1 M a, orib, c,uc e, f,hi and e th) a. l.! 52
