The Crystal Structure of the Manganese Superoxide Dismutase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus: Parker and Blake (1988) Revisited

Julian J. Adams, Craig J. Morton, Michael W. Parker Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an almost ubiquitous metalloenzyme that catalyses the disproportionation of superoxide (O2•−) to molecular oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The crystal structure of the manganese SOD from Geobacillus stearothermophilus was determined many years ago but the final structure, completed with modern processing and analysis tools, has only just been made available.
