Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Mg2+ no effect Sus scrofa
Mg2+ Mn2+ is six times more effective in activation than Mg2+ Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Mn2+ stimulation Sus scrofa
Mn2+ six times more effective in activation than Mg2+ Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Mn2+ in presence of Mn2+ and Mg2+ the activity is reduced to one-third of that in presence of Mn2+ alone Sus scrofa
