loss of AMO activity upon lysis of Nitrosomonas europaea results from the loss of copper from the enzyme, generating a catalytically inactive, yet stable and activable, form of the enzyme | Nitrosomonas europaea |

Acetylene | two populations of AMO in cell extracts. The low, copper-independent (residual) AMO activity is completely inactivated by acetylene in the absence of exogenously added copper. The copper-dependent (activable) AMO activity is protected against acetylene inactivation in the absence of copper. In the presence of copper both populations of AMO are inactivated by acetylene | Nitrosomonas europaea |

Cu2+ | the addition of CuCl2 to cell extracts results in 5- to 15-fold stimulation of ammonia-dependent O2 consumption, ammonia-dependent nitrite production, and hydrazine-dependent ethane oxidation. Two populations of AMO in cell extracts. The low, copper-independent (residual) AMO activity is completely inactivated by acetylene in the absence of exogenously added copper. The copper-dependent (activable) AMO activity is protected against acetylene inactivation in the absence of copper. However, in the presence of copper both populations of AMO are inactivated by acetylene | Nitrosomonas europaea | |
MgCl2 | stimulates in vitro. Loss of enzyme activity upon lysis of Nitrosomonas europaea results from the loss of copper from the enzyme, generating a catalytically inactive, yet stable and activable, form of the enzyme | Nitrosomonas europaea | |
additional information | Zn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Cr3+, and Ag+, are ineffective at stimulating AMO activity | Nitrosomonas europaea |
