the pH range of 6.2-8.1. Incubation of the enzyme for 30 min at pH 5.2 and 10.8 caused 50% inhibition. KpT retained full activity when incubated for 30 min at pH values between 5.0 and 11.0 (Fig. 11), and lost 50% of its activity at pH 4.4 and 11.7. Effect of urea. KpT was found to be more stable than KpCP in the presence of urea (Fig. 12). 60 min incubation with 4 M urea caused 6% inhibition of the activity of KpT and 72% inhibition of KpCP. When incubated in the presence of 8 M urea KpT lost 70% of the
