General Stability

General Stability Organism
1 mM nitrite and 5O mM hydroxylamine are equally effective in decreasing the loss of activity after 24h at 40°C from 40% to 10%. No increase in catalytic activity is detected when enzyme is pre-incubated for 15 min with either of these substrates, even when NAD+ is omitted from the assay mixture Escherichia coli

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
KCN although 1 mM KCN completely inhibits hydroxylamine reduction, it does not inhibit the reduction of K3Fe(CN)6 and only decreases the rate of cytochrome c reduction by 12% Escherichia coli
p-chloromercuribenzoate the reduction of cytochrome c, K3Fe(CN)6 and hydroxylamine is completely inhibited (more than 99%) by 0.02 mM p-chloromercuribenzoate Escherichia coli
