SOD1 Catalyses Thiol Oxidation to Thiosulfinates
2026-06-05
Abstract excerpt
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is canonically regarded as a superoxide scavenging antioxidant yet is paradoxically associated with multiple diseases. Here, we show that SOD1 catalyzes thiol oxidation to thiosulfinates (RS(O)SR), revealing a previously unrecognized copper mediated oxidant forming reaction in biology. Steady state kinetics demonstrate robust, O 2 dependent thiol consumption, and ATR FTIR spectra...
