Inorg Chem. 2010 Apr 5;49(7):3104-12.

A powerful means of enhancing our understanding of the structures and functions of enzymes that contain nickel-sulfur bonds, such as Ni superoxide dismutase, acetyl-coenzyme A synthase/carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, [NiFe] hydrogenase, and methyl-CoM reductase, involves the investigation of model compounds with similar structural and/or electronic properties.

Iron binds Sod2p in yeast mutants blocking late stages of iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis (grx5, ssq1, and atm1), but not in mutants defective in the upstream Isu proteins that serve as scaffolds for iron-sulfur biosynthesis.

The spectroscopic assays suggested that the nano-anatase was determined to directly bind to SOD; the binding site of nano-anatase to SOD was 0.256 and the binding constants were 6.54 x 10 (5) and 3.6 x 10 (5) Lmol (-1); Ti was bound with three oxygen or nitrogen atoms and a sulfur atoms of amino acid residues at the Ti-O (N) and Ti-S bond lengths of 1.86 and 2.37 A, respectively, the binding nano-anatase entirely altered the secondary structure of SOD.

The polysulfane bridge can be introduced in vitro by incubation of purified SOD1 with elemental sulfur, even under anaerobic conditions and in the presence of a metal chelator.

Abstract The present results indicated that tolerance to nitroglycerin (glycerin trinitrate, GTN) increased the hepatic and renal level of reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and glutathione peroxidase (PO (x)) and decreased superoxide dismutase activity, whereas non-protein thiols remained unchanged in both organs.
In the liver (but not in the kidney) glutathione S-transferase (GST), catalase and rhodanese activities decreased and the sulfane sulfur level also dropped.

Biometals. 2009 Aug 1.


Deletion of the YFH1 gene caused hypersensitivity to hydrogen peroxide and exogenously added riboflavin and led to alterations in superoxide dismutase activities.

The genome of the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum (Cba.) tepidum, a strictly anaerobic photolithoautotroph, is predicted to encode more than ten genes whose products are potentially involved in protection from reactive oxygen species and an oxidative stress response.
The encoded proteins include cytochrome bd quinol oxidase, NADH oxidase, rubredoxin oxygen oxidoreductase, several thiol peroxidases, alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, superoxide dismutase, methionine sulfoxide reductase, and rubrerythrin.
