General Stability

General Stability Organism
alcohol fractionation inactivates Rattus norvegicus
ammonium sulfate fractionation inactivates Rattus norvegicus
dialysis against phosphate buffer inactivates, 2-oxoglutarate protects to some extent Rattus norvegicus
freeze-thawing inactivates Rattus norvegicus
slightly acidic buffer solutions inactivate, pyridoxal phosphate or pyridoxamine phosphate restores activity, 2-oxoglutarate protects Rattus norvegicus
