Abstract excerpt
Arginase is a binuclear Mn(2+)-metalloenzyme of urea cycle that hydrolyses arginine to ornithine and urea. Unlike other arginases, the Helicobacter pylori enzyme is selective for Co(2+). Previous study reported that DTT strongly inhibits the H. pylori enzyme activity suggesting that a disulphide bond is critical for the catalysis. In this study, we have undertaken steady-state kinetics, circular dichroism and...
