Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) leads the front line of defense against injuries mediated by the reactive oxygen species (ROS). The SOD from a high-altitude plant Potentilla atrosanguinea is a unique thermostable enzyme. In this study, we applied a structure-guided consensus approach on Cu,Zn SOD from Potentilla atrosanguinea plant, to improve its enzymatic properties. The polar uncharged amino acid (threonine) at position 97 of wild-type (WT) SOD was selected as a target residue for substitution by aspartate (T97D) through site-directed mutagenesis. The WT and T97D were examined by a combinative approach consisting of robust computational and experimental tools. The in-silico analysis indicated improved dimeric stability in T97D as compared to the WT. The strong interactions between the monomers were related to improved dimerization and enhanced catalytic efficiency of T97D. These results were validated by in-vitro assays showing improved dimer stability and catalytic efficiency in T97D than WT. Moreover, the mutation also improved the thermostability of the enzyme. The combined structural and functional data described the basis for improved specific activity and thermostability. This study could expand the scope of interface residue to be explored as targets for designing of SODs with improved kinetics.

Abstract
Many short-lived and highly reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide anion (O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), are toxic or can create oxidative stress in cells, a response involved in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases depending on their concentration, location, and cellular conditions. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities as an endogenous and exogenous cell defense mechanism include the potential use in treating various diseases, improving the potential use in treating various diseases, and improving food-stuffs preparation dietary supplements human nutrition. Published work indicates that SOD regulates oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and oxidation in cells. It can prevent lipid peroxidation, the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein in macrophages, lipid droplets' formation, and the adhesion of inflammatory cells into endothelial monolayers. It also expresses antioxidant effects in numerous cancer-related processes. Additionally, different forms of SOD may also augment food processing and pharmaceutical applications, exhibit anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, and prevent arterial problems by protecting the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Many investigations in this review have reported the therapeutic ability and physiological importance of SOD. Because of their antioxidative effects, SODs are of great potential in the medicinal, cosmetic, food, farming and chemical industries. This review discusses the findings of human and animal studies that support the advantages of SOD enzyme regulations to reduce the formation of oxidative stress in various ways.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a technique developed to treat the ever-increasing global incidence of cancer. This technique utilises singlet oxygen (1O2) generation via a laser excited photosensitiser (PS) to kill cancer cells. However, prolonged sensitivity to intensive light (6–8 weeks for lung cancer), relatively low tissue penetration by activating light (630 nm up to 4 mm), and the cost of PS administration can limit progressive PDT applications. The development of quantum-dot laser diodes emitting in the highest absorption region (1268 nm) of triplet oxygen (3O2) presents the possibility of inducing apoptosis in tumour cells through direct 3O2 → 1O2 transition. Here we demonstrate that a single laser pulse triggers dose-dependent 1O2 generation in both normal keratinocytes and tumour cells and show that tumour cells yield the highest 1O2 far beyond the initial laser pulse exposure. Our modelling and experimental results support the development of direct infrared (IR) laser-induced tumour treatment as a promising approach in tumour PDT.

Abstract
The net emission of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) from mitochondria results from the balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) continuously generated in the respiratory chain and ROS scavenging. The relative contribution of the two major antioxidant systems in the mitochondrial matrix, glutathione (GSH) and thioredoxin (Trx), has not been assessed. In this paper, we examine this key question via combined experimental and theoretical approaches, using isolated heart mitochondria from mouse, rat, and guinea pig. As compared with untreated control mitochondria, selective inhibition of Trx reductase with auranofin along with depletion of GSH with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene led to a species-dependent increase in H(2)O(2) emission flux of 17, 11, and 6 fold in state 4 and 15, 7, and 8 fold in state 3 for mouse, rat, and guinea pig mitochondria, respectively. The maximal H(2)O(2) emission as a percentage of the total O(2) consumption flux was 11%/2.3% for mouse in states 4 and 3 followed by 2%/0.25% and 0.74%/0.29% in the rat and guinea pig, respectively. A minimal computational model accounting for the kinetics of GSH/Trx systems was developed and was able to simulate increase in H(2)O(2) emission fluxes when both scavenging systems were inhibited separately or together. Model simulations suggest that GSH/Trx systems act in concert. When the scavenging capacity of either one of them saturates during H(2)O(2) overload, they relieve each other until complete saturation, when maximal ROS emission occurs. Quantitatively, these results converge on the idea that GSH/Trx scavenging systems in mitochondria are both essential for keeping minimal levels of H(2)O(2) emission, especially during state 3 respiration, when the energetic output is maximal. This suggests that the very low levels of H(2)O(2) emission observed during forward electron transport in the respiratory chain are a result of the well-orchestrated actions of the two antioxidant systems working continuously to offset ROS production.

Abstract
Glycine 165, which is located near the active site metal, is mostly conserved in aligned amino acid sequences of manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) proteins, but is substituted to threonine in most iron-containing SODs (Fe-SODs). Because threonine 165 is located between Trp128 and Trp130, and Trp128 is one of the metal-surrounding aromatic amino acids, the conversion of this amino acid may affect the metal-specific activity of Escherichia coli Mn-SOD. In order to clarify this possibility, we prepared a mutant of E. coli Mn-SOD with the replacement of Gly165 by Thr. The ratio of the specific activities of Mn- to Fe-reconstituted enzyme increased from 0.006 in the wild-type to 0.044 in the mutant SOD; therefore, the metal-specific SOD was converted to a metal-tolerant SOD. The visible absorption spectra of the Fe- and Mn-reconstituted mutant SODs indicated the loss of Mn-SOD character. It was concluded that Gly at position 165 plays a catalytic role in maintaining the integrity of the metal specificity of Mn-SOD.

Abstract
The discovery of superoxide dismutases (SODs), which convert superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, has been termed the most important discovery of modern biology never to win a Nobel Prize. Here, we review the reasons this discovery has been underappreciated, as well as discuss the robust results supporting its premier biological importance and utility for current research. We highlight our understanding of SOD function gained through structural biology analyses, which reveal important hydrogen-bonding schemes and metal-binding motifs. These structural features create remarkable enzymes that promote catalysis at faster than diffusion-limited rates by using electrostatic guidance. These architectures additionally alter the redox potential of the active site metal center to a range suitable for the superoxide disproportionation reaction and protect against inhibition of catalysis by molecules such as phosphate. SOD structures may also control their enzymatic activity through product inhibition; manipulation of these product inhibition levels has the potential to generate therapeutic forms of SOD. Markedly, structural destabilization of the SOD architecture can lead to disease, as mutations in Cu,ZnSOD may result in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a relatively common, rapidly progressing and fatal neurodegenerative disorder. We describe our current understanding of how these Cu,ZnSOD mutations may lead to aggregation/fibril formation, as a detailed understanding of these mechanisms provides new avenues for the development of therapeutics against this so far untreatable neurodegenerative pathology.
