Active site histidine in pig liver aminolevulic acid dehydratase modified by diethylpyrocarbonate and protected by Zn2+ Ions

1. 1. The effect of diethylpyrocarbonate (DEP) (0.1-0.35 mM) on the purified pig liver aminolevulic acid dehydratase (ALA-D) containing 0.3 g-atoms Zn/subunit, under different pHs (6.0-7.5), temperature (0-18°C) and time (0-60 min) was studied 2. 2. Three histidyl residues/subunit were modified by D...
