Ureases I. Functional, catalytic and kinetic properties: A review
Open accessAbstract
Ureases (urea amidohydrolases, EC 3.5.1.5) are a group of highly proficient enzymes, widely distributed in nature, whose catalytic function is to catalyze the hydrolysis of urea, its final products being carbonic acid and ammonia. The products and the resulting increase in pH of the reaction environment are consequential characteristics of the action of ureases. Apart from its natural significance, ureases-catalyzed hydrolysis of urea is important in that it has great potential for practical applications. In view of this importance, this article offers a review of the properties of the enzymes, where in addition to the established knowledge, the recent findings are presented. Special emphasis is put on the functional and practical properties of ureases that can be customized and exploited in a diversity of important applications, notably medical, analytical, environmental and engineering.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
