| Activity Regulation | ACTIVITY REGULATION: Strongly inhibited by Hg(2+), Ag(+) and Fe(3+). To a lesser extent, is also inhibited by Pb(2+), Mn(2+), Sn(2+) and Cu(2+). By contrast, Ni(2+), Zn(2+), Co(2+), Ba(2+) and NH(4)(+) do not affect enzyme activity, while 10 mM Ca(2+), and Mg(2+) produce a stimulating effect. Is also strongly inhibited by chemicals such as N-bromosuccinimide and dimethyl(2-dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)sulphonium bromide. Is not affected by N-acetylimidazole. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9720200}. |
