Copper, zinc superoxide dismutase catalyzes hydroxyl radical production from hydrogen peroxide.

Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD; EC 1.15.1.1) is known to be inhibited slowly by H2O2. Using EPR and the spin traps 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline 1-oxide (DMPO) and N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone (PBN), we have shown that Cu,Zn-SOD catalyzes the formation of "free" .OH radicals from H2O...
