Activity
> 2,500 units/mg protein
Unit Definition
One unit will inhibit reduction of Cytochrome c by 50% in a coupled system with xanthine oxidase at pH 7.8 at 25°C in a 3.0 mL reaction volume. Xanthine oxidase concentration should produce an initial ΔA550 of 0.025 ± 0.005 per min.
Reaction
2 superoxide + 2 H+ = O2 + H2O2
