Rat liver arginase (arginase I) is potently inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate, with a second-order rate constant of 113M(-1)s(-1) for the inactivation process at pH 7.0, 25 degrees C. Partial protection from inactivation is provided by the product of the reaction, l-ornithine, while nearly complete protection is afforded by the inhibitor pair, l-ornithine and borate ...
