The apparent K m values of M. leprae adenylate kinase for ADP and Mg2+ were 1 × 10−4 m and 4 × 10−4 m, respectively. The enzyme was heat-labile: loss of activity by 80% at 45°C and over 90% at 60°C occurred within 5 min. M. leprae adenylate kinase was distinct from armadillo adenylate kinase in respect of affinity for substrate and heat-sensitivity. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-132-2-561
