  • a Reconstituted CYP2A13 was incubated with 25 μM nicotine for 16 min at 30°C prior to assaying for activity in a secondary reaction and reduced CO spectra and heme in the primary incubation as described under Materials and Methods

  • b Values are means ± S.D. from two to four separate experiments. When only two values were averaged, they did not differ by greater than 10%. Control samples contained no NADPH

  • c Value less than control value, P < 0.001
