Abstract

Superoxide dismutases are metalloenzymes catalyzing the dimutation of superoxide anion radical to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. Examples of enzymes containing Cu, Mn and Fe as the redox-active metal have been characterized. Recently, an SOD containing one Ni atom per subunit was reported.(omitted)
