Deskripsi

Urease is a nickel enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Here the authors report a high resolution cryo-EM structure of urease from the bacterial pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica, providing a detailed visualization of the urease bimetal active site and a basis for drug development.
