Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a naturally occurring enzyme that plays a crucial role in dismantling superoxide radicals. These radicals are extraordinarily responsive entities with the potential ...

Multiple models have been proposed for the mechanism by which mutant superoxide dismutase 1 induces motor neuron death and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A combination of cell biology and genetics ...

For example, manganese is a cofactor for manganese superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). As a cofactor for various ...

Germin 1 is an apoplastic, multimeric, glycosylated enzyme with such extreme resistance to heat and to chemical degradation by proteases or hydrogen peroxide that its stability has been compared 2 ...
