Immunological Heterogeneity of Superoxide Dismutases in the Free

Abstract

The superoxide dismutases from and were serologically related, whereas the superoxide dismutase from appeared to be unique serologically . Enzymes from and did not show any serological reactivity. Moreover, the acholeplasmic enzymes exhibited electrophoretic heterogeneity, indicating the evolutionary diversity of superoxide dismutases.
