Abstract excerpt

Cu,Zn superoxide dismutases (SODs) have been purified to homogeneity from the two varieties of Cryptococcus neoformans, C. neoformans var. neoformans and var. gattii. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the two enzymes were similar, though not identical, and demonstrated homology with Cu,Zn SO...
