Abstract excerpt
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (cSOD) is an important enzymatic agent of physiological defense against active oxygen species. Previously, we defined the essential biological role of cSOD in Drosophila through analysis of a cSOD null mutant. In the process of isolating this mutant, we also identified...
