Nickel superoxide dismutase
text:
Nickel superoxide dismutase (Ni-SOD) is a metalloenzyme that, like the other superoxide dismutases, protects cells from oxidative damage by catalyzing the disproportionation of the cytotoxic superoxide radical (O−2) to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. Superoxide is a reactive oxygen species that is produced in large amounts during photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration. The equation for the disproportionation of superoxide is shown below: 2 O 2 − + 2 H + → N i c k e l S u p e r
