6.5.1.6 K+ the enzyme does not require monovalent cations to be active. 2 mM KCl or up to 5 mM of NaCl increase its activity up to 70%. Higher concentrations of these cations are inhibitory, but the enzyme still retains 50% activity with 100 mM NaCl or 100 mM KCl 661788 6.5.1.6 Mg2+ 1 mM, 2.5fold stimulation 672745 6.5.1.6 Mg2+ strongly dependent on the MgCl2. While optimal activity is obtained with 2 mM, it is almost totally inhibited with 10 mM MgCl2 661788 6.5.1.6 Na+ the enzyme does not require monovalent cations to be active. 2 mM KCl or up to 5 mM of NaCl increase its activity up to 70%. Higher concentrations of these cations are inhibitory, but the enzyme still retains 50% activity with 100 mM NaCl or 100 mM KCl 661788 6.5.1.6 Zn2+ 1 mM, 1.5 fold stimulation 672745
