This review is an attempt to retrace the chronicle that starts from the discovery of the role of
nickel as the essential metal ion in urease for the enzymatic catalysis of urea, a key step in …

The development of alternatives to soil stabilization through mechanical and chemical
stabilization has paved the way for the development of biostabilization methods. Since its …

Abstract Urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5. 1.5) is a nickel-containing enzyme produced
by plants, fungi, and bacteria that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and …

Bio-catalytic micro-and nanomotors self-propel by the enzymatic conversion of substrates
into products. Despite the advances in the field, the fundamental aspects underlying enzyme …

Urease is a nickel-dependent metalloenzyme found in plants, some bacteria, and fungi.
Bacterial enzyme is of special importance since it has been demonstrated as a potent …

The present advances in biology are related to progress in genomics, proteomics, and other
“-omics”, including glycomics, working with a large amount of data regarding human and …

This review describes the functions, structures, and mechanisms of nine nickel-containing
enzymes: glyoxalase I, acireductone dioxygenase, urease, superoxide dismutase,[NiFe] …

Urea is a plant metabolite derived either from root uptake or from catabolism of arginine by
arginase. In agriculture, urea is intensively used as a nitrogen fertilizer. Urea nitrogen enters …

The importance of nickel enzymes, where nickel serves as an essential cofactor, in Archaea,
bacteria, plants, and primitive eukaryotes, is well documented. 1 Despite the fact that no …

Ureases, enzymes that catalyze urea hydrolysis, have received considerable attention for
their impact on living organisms' health and life quality. On the one hand, the persistence of …
