Abstract

Truncated acetyl-coenzyme A synthase (ACS) was successfully converted into functional nickel superoxide dismutase (Ni-SOD) by molecular design and the designed metalloproteins possess new spectroscopic, structural, and electrochemical characteristics required for catalyzing O2? disproportionation, and exhibit impressive Ni-SOD activity.
