In this communication, we present the ability of water and a protic ionic liquid, triethyl ammonium phosphate (TEAP) to act as refolding additives for the urea-induced chemical denaturated state of the two enzymes, α-chymotrypsin and succinylated Con A. We show that the enzymatic activity is regained and in certain circumstances enhanced.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced form)-nitrate reductase was freed from ammonium repression in a Neurospora crassa mutant having drastically lowered glutamine synthetase activity, gln-1a. The general phenomenon of nitrogen metabolite repression required glutamine or some aspect of glutamine metabolism.

Nephrolithiasis was incidentally diagnosed in 2 Arabian horses, a young foal and an adult mare, from Maybod, Yazd province, Iran. The foal had bilateral neophrolithiasis, as multiple sand like stones in renal papillary area. Large nephroliths were found in the left kidney of mare. Prominent composition of those nephroliths was magnesium ammonium phosphate. Risk factors and other aspects of neph...
