Studies on the Denaturation of Antibody. III. Kinetic Aspects of the Inactivation of Diphtheria Antitoxin by Urea

Abstract

In the present investigation we have studied the effects of pH, urea concentration, and temperature on the inactivation reaction, in order to explore the influence of these factors on its abnormalities. The experimental results are shown to be compatible with a simple kinetic mechanism.
