Abstract excerpt
The cytosolic malic enzyme from the pigeon liver is sensitive to chemical denaturant urea. When monitored by protein intrinsic fluorescence or circular dichroism spectral changes, an unfolding of the enzyme in urea at 25 degrees C and pH 7.4 revealed a biphasic phenomenon with an intermediate state detected at 4-5 m urea. The enzyme activity was activated by urea up to 1 m but was completely lost before the...
