A novel imidazolate-bridged copper–zinc heterodinuclear complex as a Cu, Zn–SOD active site model

Abstract

A novel imidazolate-bridged Cu(II)–Zn(II) heterodinuclear complex of an imidazole derivative containing two metal-binding groups has been synthesized, and its structure and properties have been clarified.

Biochem., 1971, 44, 276 Superoxide anion was generated in situ by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system and detected spectrophotometrically by ferricytochrome c reduction. The SOD activity was assayed in a γ-collidine buffer (50 mM, pH 7.77, 25.0 °C) containing 10 µM ferricytochrome c, 50 µM xanthine and an appropriate amount of xanthine oxidase to cause a change of absorbance (ΔA₅₅₀= 0.025 min^–1). The IC₅₀ value is defined as the 50% inhibition concentration of cytochrome c reduction. The inhibitory effect of Cu(II) ion and its complexes used in this study on xanthine oxidase was checked prior to the assay by using the absorbance at the 295 nm peak due to uric acid at pH 7.77 N.
