Structural Insights into the Dynamics of Water in SOD1 Catalysis and Drug Interactions
2025-02-21
Abstract excerpt
Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is a crucial enzyme that protects cells from oxidative damage by converting superoxide radicals into H 2 O 2 and O 2 . This detoxification process, essential for cellular homeostasis, relies on a precisely orchestrated catalytic mechanism involving the copper cation, while the zinc cation contributes to the structural integrity of the enzyme. This study presents the 2.3 Å crystal s...
