Abstract
The spectroscopic binding constant (visible absorption and EPR spectra) and the catalytic inhibition constant of N 3 − and CN − were measured for bovine Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase chemically modified at all lysines by either succinylation or carbamoylation. These modifications partially inactivate the enzyme (10% and 50% residual activity respectively) but leave the native rhombic geometry of the copper site unaffected. It could thus be shown that the observed reduction of anion affinity of the lysines-modified proteins is related to the decreased positive charge of the protein.
