DMSO | the residual recombinant UOX activity in the presence of DMSO is significantly higher than that in pure H2O, the residual UOX activity increases in response to the increase in the DMSO concentration up to 20%, further increase in DMSO concentration (50-70%) results in significant UOX deactivation | Aspergillus flavus |
Methanol | the residual recombinant UOX activity in the presence of methanol is significantly higher than that in pure H2O, the residual UOX activity increases in response to the increase in the methanol concentration up to 20%, further increase in methanol concentration (50-70%) results in significant UOX deactivation | Aspergillus flavus |

UOX is deactivated at different protein concentrations at 45°C in 20 mM phosphate containing 0.15 M NaCl, 0.01 mg/ml UOX is deactivated much faster than its counterparts at concentrations of 0.1 and 1.0 mg/ml | Aspergillus flavus |
