Mechanism of thermal decomposition of carbamoyl phosphate and its stabilization by aspartate and ornithine transcarbamoylases

Carbamoyl phosphate (CP) has a half-life for thermal decomposition of <2 s at 100 °C, yet this critical metabolic intermediate is found even in organisms that grow at 95–100 °C. We show here that the binding of CP to the enzymes aspartate and ornithine transcarbamoylase reduces the rate of therma...
