The mechanism(s) of superoxide reduction by superoxide reductases in vitro and in vivo [PDF]

open access: possibleJBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 2002
Exposure of obligately anaerobic bacteria and archaea to transiently aerobic or micro-aerobic growth habitats requires that these microorganisms protect against oxidative stress resulting from adventitious dioxygen reduction. Superoxide reductases (SORs), which catalyze reduction of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide, have been identified as one component

Theoretical Studies of Manganese and Iron Superoxide Dismutases:  Superoxide Binding and Superoxide Oxidation

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2005
Density-functional calculations indicate that the second sphere of coordination around the metal centers of manganese and iron superoxide dismutases (MnSODs and FeSODs) plays an important role in the binding of O2(-). In these systems, O2(-) prefers to bind to Mn or Fe in end-on configurations. For human and E.

Superoxide Dismutase Biosensors for Superoxide Radical Analysis

Analytical Letters, 1999
ABSTRACT Some basic work has been performed on the development and optimisation of superoxide dismutase (SOD) biosensors for superoxide radical analysis. Initially we studied the possibility of obtaining a SOD biosensor using the Clark electrode as indicating sensor.

Superoxide Radical and Superoxide Dismutases: Threat and Defense

1980
An enzymic flux of O2- and H2O2 caused strand breaks in the supercoiled covalently closed circular Col El plasmid. Subnanomolar levels of superoxide levels of superoxide dismutase or of catalase prevented this attack on DNA, signifying that both O2- and H2O2 were required.

Engineered Superoxide Dismutase Monomers for Superoxide Biosensor Applications

Analytical Chemistry, 2005
Because of its high reaction rate and specificity, the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) offers great potential for the sensitive quantification of superoxide radicals in electrochemical biosensors. In this work, monomeric mutants of human Cu,Zn-SOD were engineered to contain one or two additional cysteine residues, which could be used to bind the ...

A superoxide dismutase-modified electrode that detects superoxide ion

Chemical Communications, 2002
A superoxide dismutase (SOD)-modified electrode, in which SOD is oriented on the gold electrode via a self-assembled monolayer of cysteine so as to allow its direct electrode reaction, possesses a bi-directional electrocatalysis for both the oxidation of superoxide ion (O2-) to O2 and the reduction of O2- to H2O2 and functions as a third generation O2-

Superoxidation of Retinoic Acid

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2006
Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectroscopy (APCI-MS) was used to examine the light-induced oxidation products of retinoic acid under conditions that favor and preclude its aggregation. We observed that in conditions that favor aggregation, i.e. in aqueous solutions, retinoic acid undergoes superoxidation to yield highly oxidized species.

Superoxide interaction with nickel and iron superoxide dismutases

Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, 2009
Interaction of superoxide with the metal active sites of nickel and iron-containing superoxide dismutases is investigated with density functional theory. Outer-sphere mechanisms for both the reduction and oxidation of superoxide are proposed to be the common feature of these structurally unrelated SODs.

Superoxide in the pulmonary circulation

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1999
Superoxide formation in pulmonary tissue is modulated by cytokines, PO2, shear force, and disease states, and can be stimulated by drugs. Superoxide has diverse actions on pulmonary cells, including smooth muscle contraction, interaction with redox enzymes, cell proliferation, and gene transcription.
