2. Load salt plugs to fractionate the

peptides (LOAD)

3. Separate the fractionates on

analytical column (Inject)

4. Repeat step 2 and 3 to separate all

fractions

yielded a Vmax of 8x105 relative fluorescence units and a Km value of 0.08 mg/mL and was

black). The calculated values for Kis and Kii are 0.29 ±0.01 mM and 0.59 ±0.01 mM,

respectively. b) A conventional microtiter plate orthogonal dataset demonstrating

noncompetitive inhibition model yielded the following inhibition constants: Kis = 240 ±110

mM and Kii = 1700 ±900 mM.
