Nickel superoxide dismutase protects nitrogen fixation in Trichodesmium
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2022 Trichodesmium, a major diazotroph in tropical and subtropical oceans, provides a significant amount of bioavailable nitrogen in oligotrophic oceans. Remarkably, the cyanobacteria carry out nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis simultaneously under high ...

Influence of hyperhomocysteinemia on the cellular redox state - Impact on homocysteine-induced endothelial dysfunction [PDF]
, 2003 Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. An increasing body of evidence has implicated oxidative stress as being contributory to homocysteines deleterious effects on the vasculature.

Detoxification of superoxide without production of H2O2: antioxidant activity of superoxide reductase complexed with ferrocyanide [PDF]
proceedings of the national Academy of Sciences of the United
States of America, PNAS, 2006, pp.14750-5, 2015 The superoxide radical O(2)(-.) is a toxic by-product of oxygen metabolism. Two O(2)(-.) detoxifying enzymes have been described so far, superoxide dismutase and superoxide reductase (SOR), both forming H2O2 as a reaction product. Recently, the SOR active site, a ferrous iron in a [Fe(2+) (N-His)(4) (S-Cys)] pentacoordination, was shown to have the ...

Evolutionary relationships in superoxide dismutase [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1975 Two distinct types of superoxide dismutase have been isolated from aerobic organisms. A blue-green Cu-Zn protein with a mol. wt of 32 000 and comprising two identical subunits has been obtained from a wide range of eukaryotes (e.g. [3,4]) while a pinkish-purple Mncontaining enzyme, also composed of identical subunits, has been isolated from eukaryotic ...
