Abstract excerpt
The function in the structure, stability, and catalysis of the interfaces between subunits in manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is currently under scrutiny. Glu162 in homotetrameric human MnSOD spans a dimeric interface and forms a hydrogen bond with His163 of an adjacent subunit which is a direct ligand of the manganese. We have examined the properties of two site-specific mutants of human MnSOD in which...
