1. When heated in 8 M-urea, phospholipase C(EC 3.1.4.3) from Bacillus cereus undergoes conformational transitions depending on the temperatures used. These transitions were studied by examining protein fluorescence, iodide quenching of protein fluorescence, u.v. difference spectroscopy, chemical availability of histidine residues in the enzyme, circular dichroism and catalytic activity. 2. Unless simultaneously exposed to elevated temperatures the enzyme appears to be unaffected by 8 M-urea. Removal of the two zinc atoms from the enzyme renders phospholipase C very sensitive to denaturation by 8 M-urea as indicated by fluorescence emission spectra and circular dichroism. 3. Both the native and the zinc-free enzymes are markedly more resistant to irreversible thermal inactivation in the presence of 8 M-urea than in its absence. 4. The response of the enzyme to 8 M-urea and the role of zinc in stabilizing the enzyme are discussed.
