Superoxide, O2•−, is formed in all living organisms that come in contact with air, and,
depending upon its biological context, it may act as a signaling agent, a toxic species, or a …

The discovery of superoxide dismutases (SODs), which convert superoxide radicals to
molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, has been termed the most important discovery of …

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metal-containing enzymes that catalyze the dismutation
of superoxide radicals to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme has been found in all …

Publisher Summary The availability of a spectrophotometric assay for superoxide dismutase
(SOD) activity and of an activity stain applicable to polyacrylamide gels facilitated the …

Metal ions provide considerable functionality across biological systems, and their utilization
within biomolecules has adapted through changes in the chemical environment to maintain …

We have used a PCR assay based on the use of degenerate primers in order to characterize
an internal fragment (sodAint) representing approximately 85% of the genes encoding the …

Reactive oxidant species produced by phagocytes have been reported as being involved in
the killing of Aspergillus fumigatus. Fungal superoxide dismutases (SODs) that detoxify …

The taxonomic dissection of the Streptococcus bovis-Streptococcus equinus group was
carried out upon obtaining sequences for the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase …

ABSTRACT A Staphylococcus aureus mutant (SPW1) which is unable to survive long-term
starvation was shown to have a transposon insertion within a gene homologous to the sodA …
