Copper only SOD repeat proteins likely act as an extracellular superoxide dismutase in oyster antioxidant defense

Abstract Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are key enzymes involved in oxidative stress regulation. In most eukaryotes, they typically require both copper and zinc for catalysis and structural stability. However, copper-only SODs, previously identified in bacteria and fungi, represent a novel enzyme clas...
