Evolutive and structural characterization of Nostoc commune iron-superoxide dismutase that is fit for modification

Y. Ma, Lu, M., Li, J. - Y., Qin, Y., and Gong, X. - G., Evolutive and structural characterization of Nostoc commune iron-superoxide dismutase that is fit for modification, vol. 11, pp. 3607-3617, 2012.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) has extensive clinical applications for protecting organisms from toxic oxidation. In this study, the integrated iron-superoxide dismutase gene (fe-sod) coding sequence of Nostoc commune stain CHEN was cloned from genomic DNA and compared to sods from other reported algae. These analyses of immunology and phylogenetics indicated that this Fe-SOD is considerably homologous with SODs from lower prokaryotes (Fe-SOD or Mn-SOD) but not those from higher animals (Cu/Zn-SOD). In addition, the N.
