5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, juglone, acts as a strong, time and concentration dependent inactivator of urease. The reactivation of juglone-modified urease shows the participation of reversible and irreversible contribution in the inactivation. In the presence of an excess of DTT, urease inactivated by juglone regains 70% of its activity. The reversible inactivation is attributed to oxidation of the essential urease thiols by reactive oxygen species (ROS) realizing during reduction of juglone to seminaphthoquinone. The irreversible contribution in the inhibition is assumed as an arylation of urease thiol groups by juglone Canavalia ensiformis
