Abstract excerpt

The superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene of Sulfolobus solfataricus, a hyperthermophilic archaeon, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and its gene product was characterized. When the protein was expressed in E. coli, it formed a homodimer that contained both Mn and Fe. Metal reconstitution...
