An Escherichia coli K-12 strain deleted for sodA and sodB (manganese and iron superoxide dismutases) was constructed and characterized by Southern blotting, enzyme assays, and physiological analyses. The sod deletion strain was used to clone the iron superoxide dismutase gene of Legionella pneumophi

## Abstract The Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn SOD) originally isolated from the periplasmic space of __Escherichia coli__ has been cloned and overexpressed in the __E. coli__ strain BMH 71/18. The protein has been purified as a single component of 17,000 Da, corresponding to one subunit of th
## Abstract We have studied the detailed reaction mechanism of iron and manganese superoxide dismutase with density functional calculations on realistic activeβsite models, with large basis sets and including solvation, zeroβpoint, and thermal effects. The results indicate that the conversion of O
The most striking phenotype associated with superoxide dismutase (SOD) deficiency in Escherichia coli is the inability to grow in aerobic minimal medium, which is due to the sensitivity of several amino acid biosynthetic pathways to superoxide. We have isolated two classes of pseudorevertants that g
