SOD-A from Bacteria

Description

SOD-A from Bacteria

SOD-A from Bacteria is a manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) that plays a vital role in microbial defense against oxidative stress. With a molecular weight of ~25.2 kDa, this bacterial enzyme catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, protecting cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage. Its role in bacterial physiology makes it an important target for studies on oxidative stress mechanisms and microbial pathogenesis.

This biotechnology-grade preparation is supplied as a ready-to-use solution, offering researchers a reliable tool for biochemical assays, enzyme kinetics, and redox biology research. SOD-A from Bacteria is especially useful in comparative enzymology, metal-specific activity investigations, and host-pathogen interaction studies where ROS signaling and defense mechanisms are central. Its stability and purity ensure reproducible results across multiple experimental applications, from enzymatic activity assays to structural biology and protein engineering research.
