The hyperthermophilic bacterium encodes a gene sharing sequence similarities with several known genes for alkaline phosphatase (AP). common divalent metal ion necessary for activity in known APs, was proven to inhibit the phosphatase enzyme at concentrations above 0.3 moles Zn: 1 mole monomer. All activity was abolished in the current presence of 0.1 mM EDTA.… Continue reading The hyperthermophilic bacterium encodes a gene sharing sequence similarities with several
