abstract：:Wheat germ phosphoglycerate mutase, exposed to 3.4 M guanidinium chloride at 22 degrees C and pH 7.8, slowly undergoes time-dependent inactivation which can be fully reversed by adding excess Co2+ or Mn2+ to a 50-fold dilution of the denaturing medium. Titration of the denatured enzyme with either Co2+ or Mn2+ shows t...
