SUPEROXIDO DISMUTASA [5 records]

Record 1 2012-01-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
DEF

The enzyme that catalyzes the reaction 02- + 02- + 2H+ = H202 + 02.

OBS

The enzyme appears to be ubiquitous among aerobic organisms and protects the organism against action by the radical 0-2, which is believed to be a mutagenic radical, produced in an organism by ionizing radiation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
DEF

Enzyme catalysant la dismutation de l'ion superoxyde en eau oxygénée.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Bioquímica
DEF

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Strikingly, the mutant worms produce elevated levels of antioxidants (both cytoplasmic superoxide dismutase and an enzyme called catalase) and are more resistant to the toxic effects of paraquat, a herbicide that leads to generation of the superoxide radical.

  • Biochimie
CONT

Bio-Technology General va démarrer les essais cliniques de sa superoxyde dismutase humaine; (hSOD) obtenue par génie génétique, au John Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore) et à l'Interfaith Hospital (Brooklyn). Ce produit pourrait être utilisé pour les traitements nécessitant la neutralisation de radicaux libres oxygénés qui se forment par exemple dans les caillots sanguins, chez certains enfants prématurés particulièrement sensibles à l'oxygène, et lors des transplantations rénales.

  • Agricultural Chemicals
  • Crop Protection
DEF

A toxic chemical that is widely used as an herbicide (plant killer), primarily for weed and grass control.

OBS

Chemical name: 1, 1'- dimethyl-4, 4' bipryridinium dichloride.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Agents chimiques (Agriculture)
  • Protection des végétaux
DEF

Herbicide d'origine britannique (Zeneca) est un ammonium quaternaire (dipyridyle).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Agentes químicos (Agricultura)
  • Protección de las plantas
DEF

Plaguicida sólido, amarillo, soluble en agua. Tóxico.

CONT

Los nemátodos mutantes producen niveles elevados de antioxidantes(superóxido dismutasa citoplasmática y catalasa) y son más resistentes al paraquat, herbicida que induce la generación del radical superóxido.
