Abstract excerpt
Purified recombinant mouse ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was denatured with urea or with guanidinium chloride. Enzymic activity was efficiently recovered upon dilution of the denaturing agent. ODC renatured after urea treatment was further characterized. Kinetics of decarboxylation of the natural...
