Abstract Urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5. 1.5) is a nickel-containing enzyme produced
by plants, fungi, and bacteria that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and …

To meet the demands for food of the expanding world population, there is need of new ways
for protecting plant crops against predators and pathogens while avoiding the use of …

Urease, a nickel-dependent metalloenzyme, is synthesized by plants, some bacteria, and
fungi. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Although the …

A grouting technique for enzymatic calcite precipitation is evaluated. Urea and calcium salt,
at various concentrations, are mixed with a concentration-fixed enzyme to obtain the optimal …

Plants evolve to synthesize various natural metabolites to protect themselves against
threats, such as insects, predators, microorganisms, and environmental conditions (such as …

Plants have evolved to synthesize a variety of noxious compounds to cope with unfavorable
circumstances, among which a large group of toxic proteins that play a critical role in plant …

Ureases are metalloenzymes that hydrolyze urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. They
were the first enzymes to be crystallized and, with them, the notion that enzymes are proteins …

Urease is known to be a major contributor to pathologies induced by Helicobacter pylori and
Proteus species. In H pylori, urease allows the bacteria to survive in an acidic gastric …

Developing countries are under the clutch of malnutrition due to a lack of protein rich food.
Protein supply can be broadened by exploration and exploitation of alternative legume …
