  1. The parameters were estimated as described in Materials and Methods. The parameters and errors for each parameter are derived from an independent fit of the data to a Michaelis-Menten model. Glucuronidase activity for Shuffled-1, Shuffled-2, and the T/S/N/K variant, and galactosidase activity for Neutral-1 and Neutral-2 were not detectable under the conditions of our assay.
