Sodium and potassium inhibitors of Urease?

According to my professor in biochemistry and physiology of plants, potassium and sodium are NOT inhibitors of urease. Makes sense, since those enzymes are aplenty in living cells. Also, we conducted an experiment with urease, keeping it in Na2HPO4 and KH2PO4 buffer solutions. Therefore, I removed them from the list.

Where does Urease come from?

What I really needed to know is where it comes from and what organisms use it. This article just says some plants, yeasts and bactiriea. That is almost useless information. What plants? What bacteria? What yeasts?

first isolated from Jack Bean

I may be mistaken, but I recall that urease was first isolated from Jack Bean, Canavalia ensiformis. There is some historical value in retaining this association. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AJim (talkcontribs) 04:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
