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 …

Ureases (urea amidohydrolases, EC 3.5. 1.5) are a group of highly proficient enzymes,
widely distributed in nature, whose catalytic function is to catalyze the hydrolysis of urea, its …

Studies on enzyme inhibition remain an important area of pharmaceutical research since
these studies have led to the discoveries of drugs useful in a variety of physiological …

Ureases are metalloenzymes that hydrolyze urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. They
were the first enzymes to be crystallized and, with them, the notion that enzymes are proteins …

In this work we compared two plant ureases, jackbean urease (JBU) and embryo‐specific
soybean urease (SBU) and a bacterial (Bacillus pasteurii) urease, for kinetic parameters and …

Urease (urea amidohydrolase; EC 3.5. 1.5) catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to yield
ammonia and carbamate. The latter compound spontaneously decomposes to yield another …

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 …

Ureases (EC 3.5. 1.5) are nickel-dependent metalloenzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of
urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Produced by plants, fungi and bacteria, but not by …

Microbial ureases hydrolyze urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Urease activity of an
infectious microorganism can contribute to the development of urinary stones …

Urease, the first enzyme to be crystallized, contains a dinuclear nickel metallocenter that
catalyzes the decomposition of urea to produce ammonia, a reaction of great agricultural …
