The activity of purified dihydropyrimidinase (without any metal supplement in the culture) toward dihydrouracil was analyzed by the standard assay. Metal ions were added to the reaction mixture for di
Values are means of four independent assays. The different compounds were used at concentration for which no direct antibacterial effect was observed. EDTA was used at 1 mM ; SDS at 100 µg/ml; Tx-100
A new R tool is described that rapidly identifies, ranks, and clusters sequence patterns coordinated to metallocofactors. This tool, PdPDB, fills a void because, unlike currently available tools, PdPD
