โฆ Synopsis
A procedure has been developed to distinguish between the two forms of eukaryotic superoxide dismutases using a common activity assay. Treatment of cellular fractions with 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate at 37ยฐC for 30 min selectively inactivates the mitochondrial, manganese-containing variant without affecting the cytosolic copper, zinc-superoxide dismutase. After removing excess sodium dodecyl sulfate by precipitation with potassium chloride, the supernate is assayed using the xanthine oxidase-cytochrome c method.

Atomic partial charges for three model systems that mimic the metal-ligand moiety of the active site in the enzyme Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) have been calculated at the ab initio level. The model systems include copper and zinc complexes with imidazole, formate and ammonia ligands. The parti
