## Abstract We have expressed and characterized a mutant of __Xenopus laevis__ Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase in which four highly conserved charged residues belonging to the electrostatic loop have been replaced by neutral side chains: Lys120 β Leu, Asp130 β Gln, Glu131 β Gln, and Lys134 β Thr. At lo
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
We used Brownian dynamics simulations of substrate 0, encounters with the enzyme bovine erythrocyte Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) to study the effects of multiple charge modifications in the enzyme on the kinetics of its diffusion-controlled reaction. When the charges of two or three residues we
