Km and Vmax values were determined by titration of rP2 or rMZ and fitting to the Michaelis-Menten equation, as described in “Determination of the kinetic constants governing cleavage at Arg271 and Arg320” and “Data analyses.” The R2 values for these fits are indicated. Substrate consumption did not exceed 10% in these experiments. Experiments on PCPS vesicles were performed once.

Experiments with activated platelets were performed using platelets from 2 individual donors. Shown are the fit values of Km and Vmax for each individual donor, as well as mean values for Km.
