Primary structure of superoxide dismutase from Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis by a combination of automatic Edman degradation and ESI/Q-TOF mass spectrometry
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a metalloenzyme that has a protective effect against toxic superoxide radicals in both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. SODs have been classified into two families on the basis of their different structural folding and metal content (Cu/Zn in one family and Fe or Mn in...
