AMP deaminase activity was inhibited in gill and muscle of Sarotherodon mossambicus, subjected to a week-long exposure to sublethal concentration of ambient ammonia. pH-dependent kinetic studies revealed decreased catalytic efficiency of the enzyme due to altered active site density and ionization pattern in the fish tissues at different phases of ammonia exposure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
