Abstract
The discovery of superoxide dismutase twenty years ago gave new meaning to work on erythrocuprein. This tribute to the achievement of Joe McCord and Irwin Fridovich is an account of experience of superoxide dismutase from old obscure copper protein of red blood cells to new exciting enzyme of oxygen free-radical metabolism, and an affirmation of the superoxide theory of oxygen toxicity.Entities:
