Isolation, reconstitution, and molecular cloning of the manganese-containing superoxide dismutase from Deinococcus radiodurans

The superoxide dismutase from a radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The superoxide dismutase has a specific activity of 3300 units/mg and an apparent molecular mass of 43,000 daltons. The enzyme contains 1.5 gram-atom of manganese...
