Abstract: | Urease from seeds of water melon was purified to apparent homogeniety upto a sp act of 3750 units/mg protein with 31% recovery. Enzyme showed single protein band on native PAGE by urease specific staining. The mol wt of the enzyme was 4,70,000 and the preparation was free from bound nucleotides (A280/A260=1.14). The enzyme exhibited maximum activity in 50 mM Tris-acetate buffer (pH 8.5). The Km for urease was 8 mM. The enzyme was not inhibited by 25 mM of EDTA in 50 mM Tris-acetate buffer (pH 8.0 and 8.5). |
