    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Enzyme Inhibition
    • Chemical Screening

    Background:

    • Urease is a key enzyme in various biological and environmental processes.
    • Efficient screening methods are crucial for discovering novel urease inhibitors.
    • Existing methods may lack speed or direct kinetic readout.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe two novel, rapid screening methods for urease inhibitors.
    • To enable direct measurement of reaction rates for inhibitor assessment.
    • To facilitate high-throughput screening of potential urease-modulating compounds.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an ammonium ion (NH4+) sensitive electrode-based assay.
    • Implementation of a pH-rise dependent assay for urease activity.

    Related Experiment Videos
