Molecular basis for antioxidant enzymes in mediating copper detoxification in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
Antioxidant enzymes play a major role in defending against oxidative damage by copper. However, few studies have been performed to determine which antioxidant enzymes respond to and are necessary for copper detoxification. In this study, we examined both the activities and mRNA levels of SOD, CAT, a...
