The enzymes that deal with toxic oxygen containing molecules are?
superoxide dismutase and catalase
What is the alternative therapy that encourages the use of certain vitamins to neutralize free radicals?
Antioxidants
What is the function of superoxide dismutase?
hey simply it is an enzyme which
Do obligate anaerobes express superoxide dismutase?
No, obligate anaerobes do not express superoxide dismutase. This is because these organisms do not encounter oxygen in their natural environment and therefore do not need enzymes to detoxify reactive oxygen species like superoxide.
What function does catalase have?
to prevent the build up of hydrogen peroxideFunctions of catalaseis a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that are exposed to oxygen where it functions to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
The enzymes that deal with toxic oxygen containing molecules are?
superoxide dismutase and catalase
What two enzymes are present in obligate aerobes but lacking in obligate anaerobes?
Catalase and superoxide dismutase.
The toxic super oxide ion is converted to harmless oxygen by two enzymes?
catalase, superoxide dismutase
Why don't obligate anaerobes require catalyse?
Because they die in the presence of catalase. They also die in the presence of oxygen, due to the absence of superoxide dismutase and catalase. It converts the lethal superoxide inside their cells due to the presence of oxygen.
What is the substrate of superoxide dismutase?
The substrate of the superoxide dismutase is the superoxide ion. The superoxide ion is believed to be responsible for the peroxidative hemolysis and lipid peroxidation.
How can that lactic acid bacteria can grow aerobically although they are catalase negative?
Although they lack catalase, they possess superoxide dismutase and have alternative means to detoxify peroxide radicals, generally through peroxidase enzymes
What is the alternative therapy that encourages the use of certain vitamins to neutralize free radicals?
Antioxidants
A microorganism that does not have a catalase or superoxide dismutase would find it difficult to live in an environment with A carbon dioxide B oxygen c high salt D temperatures above 37C?
oxygen
What type of reaction is 2 H2O------- 2 H2 plus O2?
Water breaking into its component elements would be a decomposition reaction.
What is the function of superoxide dismutase?
hey simply it is an enzyme which
What is sod superoxide dismutase used for?
it is an enzyme for dismutation of superoxide radicals that are formed in the aerobic respiration
Do obligate anaerobes express superoxide dismutase?
No, obligate anaerobes do not express superoxide dismutase. This is because these organisms do not encounter oxygen in their natural environment and therefore do not need enzymes to detoxify reactive oxygen species like superoxide.
