Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Co2+ displays remarkable activity in the absence of exogenous metals, although manganese, cobalt, and nickel all improve activity. Enzyme shifts its metal preference from Ni, Co,and Mn (decreasing order) when assayed at pH 6 to Ni, Mn, and Co (decreasing order) at pH 9 Bacillus anthracis
Co2+ enzyme is optimally active with cobalt at pH 6 Helicobacter pylori
Mn2+ displays remarkable activity in the absence of exogenous metals, although manganese, cobalt, and nickel all improve activity. Enzyme shifts its metal preference from Ni, Co,and Mn (decreasing order) when assayed at pH 6 to Ni, Mn, and Co (decreasing order) at pH 9 Bacillus anthracis
additional information Fe2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ have no effect on enzyme activity Bacillus anthracis
Ni2+ optimal arginase activity occurrs with nickel at an alkaline pH Bacillus anthracis
