摘要: A sensitive and reliable assay method was developed to characterize crude cell homogenates subcellular fractions with regard their superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. The determination of SOD activities based on the well-known spectrophotometric introduced by McCord & Fridovich [(1969) J. Biol. Chem. 244, 6049-6055], partially succinylated (3-carboxypropionylated) rather than native ferricytochrome c as indicating scavenger. Partial succinylation cytochrome resulted in minimization interference associated interaction mitochondrial oxidase or reductases. further increase specificity, exclusion interference, gained a consequence high pH 10 enabled analysis samples rich activity fraction presence absence membrane-disrupting detergents. Linear relationships for dependence protein concentration were obtained rat liver homogenate, microsomal fractions, negligible interference. Furthermore, choosing medium, 4-fold sensitivity compared classical assay, carried out at 7.8, well more precise resolution Cu/Zn-SOD Mn-SOD 2 mM-KCN ratio Cu/Zn-SOD, such mitochondria. complete trapping O2.- radicals, which feasible application simple equation derived calculation appropriately defined units from single experiment.
