Fe | 2Fe-SOR contains iron center I and iron center II, function of iron center I as an electronic relay between a reductase enzyme and iron center II, overview. The active site consists of an unusual mononuclear iron center with an FeN4S1 coordination which catalyzes the one electron reduction of superoxide to form hydrogen peroxide. Presence of an additional rubredoxin-like desulforedoxin iron center, which functions as an electronic relay between cellular reductases and the iron active site for superoxide reduction | Desulfarculus baarsii |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

additional information | the SOR active site is located at the surface of the protein and consists of a mononuclear iron center, named center II, pentacoordinated in its ferrous state by four nitrogen atoms from histidine residues in an equatorial plane and one sulfur atom from a cysteine residue in an axial position. It displays a high redox potential. The lack of iron center I in the C13S SOR mutant does not significantly affect the folding of iron center II and its reactivity with superoxide | Desulfarculus baarsii |
physiological function | superoxide reductase, SOR, is a superoxide detoxification system, with a role of the rubredoxin-like iron center in the superoxide detoxifying activity of SOR, overview | Desulfarculus baarsii |
