4.1.2.5 2-mercaptoethanol activity is decreased to 20% of the original by treatment with cysteine plus mercaptoethanol. Most of the loss is regained on incubation with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate 63 4.1.2.5 acetaldehyde the enzymic cleavage of L-threonine stops when about 30% of the amino acid is converted to glycine and acetaldehyde. By dialysis of the incubation medium against buffer the full activity of the enzyme is restored, product inhibition 90 4.1.2.5 Cu2+ - 19 4.1.2.5 cysteine activity is decreased to 20% of the original by treatment with cysteine plus mercaptoethanol. Most of the loss is regained on incubation with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate 153 4.1.2.5 glycine the enzymic cleavage of L-threonine stops when about 30% of the amino acid is converted to glycine and acetaldehyde. By dialysis of the incubation medium against buffer the full activity of the enzyme is restored, product inhibition 72 4.1.2.5 Hg2+ - 33 4.1.2.5 hydroxylamine 1 mM, complete inhibition 85 4.1.2.5 p-chloromercuribenzoate 0.01 mM, complete inhibition 43 4.1.2.5 Semicarbazide 1 mM, complete inhibition 382
