Abstract excerpt
In Fe- and Mn-dependent superoxide dismutases (SODs), second-sphere residues have been implicated in precisely tuning the metal ion reduction potential to maximize catalytic activity (Vance, C. K.; Miller, A.-F. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 461-467). In the present study, spectroscopic and computational methods were used to characterize three distinct Fe-bound SOD species that possess different...
