Study: Enzyme protects cells from oxidative damage

Dr. Borgstahl’s lab contributed to study recently published in Nature Communications.

Apr 16, 2021

Like a vacuum cleaner, electrostatic forces found on the surface of the human manganese superoxide dismutase active site funnel (blue positively charged vectors) draw in the negatively charged superoxide (O2•-) to the manganese metal. The superoxide is destroyed and the oxidative damage associated with aging and disease is prevented. The Borgstahl group at UNMC has revealed the unusual biochemistry that make this happen.
