Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Iron
-
Escherichia coli
Iron nonheme iron is an essential component of the enzyme Bos taurus
Mg2+
-
Escherichia coli
Mg2+ thymus enzyme: about 50% activity in absence of added Mg2+, optimal Mg2+ concentration varies with concentration of nucleotide effector Bos taurus
additional information salt-dependence of calf thymus enzyme: optimal activity in 40 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid buffer, pH 7.6, in the presence of 80-120 mM KCl, precipitation in lower salt concentration, inhibition in higher salt concentration Bos taurus
