FunctionDFX_DESB2 Catalyzes the one-electron reduction of superoxide anion radical to hydrogen peroxide at a nonheme ferrous iron center. Plays a fundamental role in case of oxidative stress via its superoxide detoxification activity.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedIron-peroxide intermediates are central in the reaction cycle of many iron-containing biomolecules. We trapped iron(III)-(hydro)peroxo species in crystals of superoxide reductase (SOR), a nonheme mononuclear iron enzyme that scavenges superoxide radicals. X-ray diffraction data at 1.95 angstrom resolution and Raman spectra recorded in crystallo revealed iron-(hydro)peroxo intermediates with the (hydro)peroxo group bound end-on. The dynamic SOR active site promotes the formation of transient hydrogen bond networks, which presumably assist the cleavage of the iron-oxygen bond in order to release the reaction product, hydrogen peroxide. Raman-assisted crystallography reveals end-on peroxide intermediates in a nonheme iron enzyme.,Katona G, Carpentier P, Niviere V, Amara P, Adam V, Ohana J, Tsanov N, Bourgeois D Science. 2007 Apr 20;316(5823):449-53.
