Effect of a magnetic field on the activity of superoxide dismutase studied at the enzyme level

Key Points

• Investigate how a magnetic field impacts superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and superoxide generation.
• Utilized a static magnetic field to observe effects on enzyme interactions.
• Conducted electrochemical analyses to assess changes at the copper center of SOD.
• Magnetic field enhanced superoxide generation in the xanthine oxidase reaction.
• Altered electron transfer at the copper center of immobilized superoxide dismutase.
