Copper,zinc-superoxide dismutase characterization

Nalbandyan, 1982 Hodgson and Fridovich, 1975 Asada et al., 1975), whereas azide inhibits the enzymes in the following order iron > manganese > copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Misra and Fridovich, 1978). Diethyldithiocarbamate is another well-characterized inhibitor of the copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Heikkila et al., 1977). It forms a complex with the copper and removes the metal from all the protein ligands. The copper-diethyldithiocarbamate complex can be separated without affecting the zinc content of the protein (Cocco et al., 1981).
