Copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) belongs to a class of enzymes, identified as essential and highly effective endogenous scavengers of cytotoxic oxygen radicals. These radicals contribute to postlesional neurotoxicity. In order to determine the superoxide-scavenging potential of regions a...
