Preliminary neutron diffraction analysis of challenging human manganese superoxide dismutase crystals
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are enzymes that protect against oxidative stress by dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide through cyclic reduction and oxidation of the active-site metal. The complete enzymatic mechanisms of SODs are unknown since data on the positions of hydrogen are limited. Here, methods are presented for large crystal growth and neutron data collection of...

متن کاملCharacterization of crystals of genetically engineered human manganese superoxide dismutase.
The genetically engineered human manganese superoxide dismutase crystallizes in space group P2(1)2(1)2 with a = 75.51 A, b = 79.00 A, c = 67.95 A. At room temperature the crystals are not stable against radiation, so we cooled them to 90 K and collected a data set to 3 A resolution at this temperature.

متن کاملManganese Superoxide Dismutase: Guardian of the Powerhouse
The mitochondrion is vital for many metabolic pathways in the cell, contributing all or important constituent enzymes for diverse functions such as β-oxidation of fatty acids, the urea cycle, the citric acid cycle, and ATP synthesis. The mitochondrion is also a major site of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the cell. Aberrant production of mitochondrial ROS can have dramatic effects ...
