Superoxide radical and superoxide dismutases.
O2- oxidizes the [4Fe-4S] clusters of dehydratases, such as aconitase, causing-inactivation and release of Fe(II), which may then reduce H2O2 to OH- +OH.. SODs inhibit such HO. production by scavengingO2-, but Cu, ZnSODs, by virtue of a nonspecific peroxidase activity, may peroxidize spin trapping agents and thus give the appearance of catalyzing OH. production from H2O2. There is a glycosylate...
متن کاملSuperoxide anion radical (O2) generation by adriamycin and anthraquinone analogues.
The reduction of ferricytochrome c with adriamycin in phospate buffered saline (pH 7.4) and alkaline solution was obsereved spectrophotometrically. The reduction increased gradually with time of incubation, and decreased with the addition of superoxide dismutase. The semiquinone radical derived from adriamycin was detected by electron spin resonance spectrometer. Superoxide production by analog...

متن کاملOxygen Stress and Superoxide Dismutases.
The accumulation of dioxygen in Earth's atmosphere allowed for the evolution of aerobic organisms that use O2 as the terminal electron acceptor, thus providing a higher yield of energy compared with fermentation and anaerobic respiration. For example, in aerobic metabolism, the complete breakdown of one molecule of glucose yields a total of 38 molecules of ATP, whereas the anaerobic breakdown o...
متن کاملProkaryotic Cu,Zn superoxide dismutases.
The Cu,ZnSODs (Cu,Zn superoxide dismutases) comprise a class of ubiquitous metalloenzymes that catalyse the dismutation of the superoxide radical anion into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The dismutation reaction involves two successive encounters of the superoxide anion with a catalytic copper centre hosted by the enzyme at the dead end of a narrow protein channel. Cu,ZnSOD is found in all euka...
