Hydrolysis products of the urea-urease system have been deduced from thermochemical measurements. Two distinct sets of products are found which depend upon the buffer used. Classical products (HCO3- and NH4+) are found in phosphate (pH 7.5 and 6.7) and maleate (pH 6.7) buffers. Ammonium carbamate in virtually quantitative yields is obtained in citrate (pH 6.7) and Tris (pH 7.5) buffers. The possible effect of these two sets of products on previous kinetic and thermodynamic studies is discussed in terms of buffer effects. © 1975, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
