| Özet |
| Urease is a key metalloenzyme with broad industrial, agricultural, and medical relevance, and it is implicated in the virulence of numerous pathogenic microorganisms. Elevated urease activity supports the persistence of urease-producing microbes and contributes to nitrogen depletion in agricultural soils. Inhibitors of urease that are effective are therefore discovered and their discovery would be a plus. This research is looking at the possibility of amino acids being the safe, biocompatible, and effective urease inhibitors with prospective use in agriculture and medicine. The inhibition potentials of L-Valine, D-Phenylalanine, L-Methionine, L-Tyrosine, L-Arginine, and D-Threonine (Val, Phe, Met, Tyr, Arg, and Thr for short) against jack bean urease were evaluated systematically. The varying side-chain chemistries (aromatic, sulfur, hydroxyl, and ionic) of these compounds that could be involved in urease binding were … |
