A simple determination of 5'-Nucleotidase in blood serum without deproteinization is described. The enzyme activity is distinguished from that of a nonspecific alkaline phosphatase by nickel inhibition and the inorganic phosphate released from adenosine monophosphate used as substrate is determined by a method previously described. Additional studies include the determination of optimal conditi...

Inspired by biology, in which a bimetallic hydroxide-bridged zinc(II)-containing enzyme is utilized to catalytically hydrolyze phosphate ester bonds, the utility of a zirconium(IV)-cluster-containing metal-organic framework as a catalyst for the methanolysis and hydrolysis of phosphate-based nerve agent simulants was examined. The combination of the strong Lewis-acidic Zr(IV) and bridging hydro...
