The soybean (Glycine max L. [Merrill]) var Itachi has 0.2 to 0.3% the urease activity found in developing embryos of a normal line, Prize. The hydroxyurea sensitivity and pH preference of this basal ...

The study of urease inhibitors and molecular docking embodies a confluence of advanced synthetic chemistry, computational biology, and structural biochemistry. Urease, a nickel-dependent enzyme ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Urea is a small molecule formed as proteins ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 39, No. 203 (June 1988), pp. 753-761 (9 pages) The ureolytic enzyme in Chara was investigated. This enzyme was shown to be a urease with an unusually high affinity ...

The compound urea is currently the most popular nitrogen soil fertilizer. It's a way to get plants the nitrogen they need to grow. There's just one problem with urease: it works too well! New research ...

The ulcer-causing bacterium Helicobacter pylori thrives where most other living things get chemically minced into bits–the acidic environment of the human stomach. Scientists are divided on exactly ...

Enzymes, workhorse molecules of life that underpin almost every biological process, may have a new role as "intelligent" micro- and nanomotors with applications in medicine, engineering and other ...
