Manganese and iron superoxide dismutases are structural homologs.
The crystal structure of a tetrameric manganese superoxide dismutase from a thermophilic bacterium, Thermus thermophilus HB8, has been determined at 4.4-A resolution by local averaging of electron density maps calculated by isomorphous replacement. The spatial arrangement of the principal secondary structural features of iron superoxide dismutase is conserved in manganese dismutase. The structu...

متن کاملSuperoxide radical and superoxide dismutases.
O2- oxidizes the [4Fe-4S] clusters of dehydratases, such as aconitase, causing-inactivation and release of Fe(II), which may then reduce H2O2 to OH- +OH.. SODs inhibit such HO. production by scavengingO2-, but Cu, ZnSODs, by virtue of a nonspecific peroxidase activity, may peroxidize spin trapping agents and thus give the appearance of catalyzing OH. production from H2O2. There is a glycosylate...
متن کاملSpectroscopic and computational studies on iron and manganese superoxide dismutases: nature of the chemical events associated with active-site pKs.
A combined spectroscopic/computational approach has been utilized to explore the chemical origins of the active-site pKs of the structurally homologous Fe- and Mn-dependent superoxide dismutases (SODs). Absorption, circular dichroism, magnetic circular dichroism, and variable-temperature, variable-field magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopic experiments have permitted us to determine electro...
متن کاملOxygen Stress and Superoxide Dismutases.
The accumulation of dioxygen in Earth's atmosphere allowed for the evolution of aerobic organisms that use O2 as the terminal electron acceptor, thus providing a higher yield of energy compared with fermentation and anaerobic respiration. For example, in aerobic metabolism, the complete breakdown of one molecule of glucose yields a total of 38 molecules of ATP, whereas the anaerobic breakdown o...
