Recombinant toyocamycin nitrile hydratase was expressed and purified as described previously24 (link). Rabbit pyruvate kinase was purchased from Roche; the phosphoglycerate mutase 2 was discovered as a contaminant in that sample. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase was isolated from HeLa S3 cells as described previously25 . Ferritin from horse spleen was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Finally, human 20S proteasome was purchased from Enzo Life Sciences. All samples were desalted prior to analysis by buffer exchanging with molecular weight cutoff spin filters (Millipore) into 150 mM ammonium acetate at pH 7.
