TABLE 3.
Added cation (concn [mM]) | Relative activitya (%) with:
|
|
---|---|---|
No EDTA | 1 mM EDTA | |
None | 80 | 0 |
Mg2+ (5) | 100 | 100 |
Mn2+ (5) | 71 | 70 |
Co2+ (5) | 61 | 59 |
Zn2+ (5) | 52 | 49 |
Ni2+ (5) | 47 | 30 |
Ca2+ (5) | 38 | 31 |
Cu2+ (5) | 32 | 28 |
The results are expressed as the percentage of enzyme activity relative to the activity obtained with Mg2+. The results are the average of three independent experiments.
