Can this assay differentiate Mn-SOD from Cu/Zn-SOD?

Yes, it can. Upon request, selective inhibitors can be introduced into the assay workflow to suppress one isoform while measuring the other. This allows for the distinct determination of Mn-SOD versus Cu/Zn-SOD activity within the same sample, offering a clear functional separation without the need for physical purification.

Is the service compatible with synthetic antioxidant mimics?

Yes. The assay system is well-suited for evaluating synthetic antioxidants, including nanozymes and other SOD mimetics. It enables direct performance benchmarking against native SOD enzymes under controlled conditions, helping to assess catalytic efficiency, specificity, and potential interference in complex biological matrices.

Introduction

Superoxide dismutase is a critical antioxidant enzyme family that catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals into molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. SOD activity directly reflects the cellular capacity to counteract oxidative stress and maintain redox homeostasis in physiological and pathological conditions. SOD activity assay provides a quantitative, reliable measurement of enzymatic function, enabling precise evaluation of antioxidant responses, drug efficacy, and disease-associated oxidative damage.
