Enzyme immobilization has been developing since the 1960s and although many industrial
biocatalytic processes use the technology to improve enzyme performance, still today we …

Ammonia emissions from the agricultural sector give rise to numerous environmental and
societal concerns and represent an economic challenge in crop farming, causing a loss of …

This review is an attempt to retrace the chronicle that starts from the discovery of the role of
nickel as the essential metal ion in urease for the enzymatic catalysis of urea, a key step in …

Urease is a nickel-dependent metalloenzyme found in plants, some bacteria, and fungi.
Bacterial enzyme is of special importance since it has been demonstrated as a potent …

Currently, nitrogen fertilizers are utilized to meet 48% of the total global food demand. The
demand for nitrogen fertilizers is expected to grow as global populations continue to rise …

The nickel-dependent urease enzyme is responsible for the hydrolysis of urea to ammonia
and carbon dioxide. A number of bacteria produce urease (ureolytic bacteria) and are …

Urease, the most efficient enzyme known, contains an essential dinuclear NiII cluster in the
active site. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea, inducing a rapid pH increase that has negative …

Urea is one of the most commonly used nitrogen fertilizers in agricultural soil and is easily
decomposed by soil urease resulting in ammonium release. The produced ammonium can …

Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic progressive disease. With the improvement of people's
living standard and the aging of population, osteoporosis and its fracture have become one …

The nickel-dependent enzyme urease is a virulence factor for a large number of human
pathogens, as well as a negative element for the efficiency of soil nitrogen fertilization for …
