Superoxide Dismutase from Lens esculenta: Purification and Properties.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Superoxide dismutase has been purified to homogeneity from Lens esculenta cotyledons and shoots. The two forms appeared to be identical. The purified enzyme contained two electrophoretically distinct bands. It contained two ions of Cu and two ions of Zn. Gel filtration experiments indicate a molecular weight of about 33,000. The spectrum of ultraviolet and visible regions and electron paramagnetic resonance were similar to those of Cu-Zn mammalian superoxide dismutase.

1. During purification of human superoxide dismutase by the McCord-Fridovich procedure (McCord, J.M. and Fridovich, I. (1969) J. Biol. Chem. 244, 6049--6055) the 'extra ' sulfhydryl groups react with a variety of sulfur conraining compounds including zero-valent sulfur to yield several dismutase fractions containing excess sulfur atoms and having a unique absorption band in the region of 325 nm...

متن کاملHuman Erythrocyte Superoxide Dismutase Encapsulated in Positively Charged Liposomes
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important antioxidant that protects many types of cells from the free radical damage. One of the possible ways for the use of SOD is its incorporation in liposomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cationic phospholipids on the entrapment of human erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) in liposomes. Also, in the present study, w...
