Contributions of the C-Terminal Helix to the Structural Stability of a Hyperthermophilic Fe-Superoxide Dismutase (TcSOD)

Contributions of the C-Terminal Helix to the Structural Stability of a Hyperthermophilic Fe-Superoxide Dismutase (TcSOD)

Hyperthermophilic superoxide dismutases (SODs) are of particular interest due to their potential industrial importance and scientific merit in studying the molecular mechanisms of protein folding and stability. Compared to the mesophilic SODs, the hyperthermostable Fe-SODs (TcSOD and ApSOD) have an...
