An Adaptation to Low Copper in Candida albicans Involving SOD Enzymes and the Alternative Oxidase.

An Adaptation to Low Copper in Candida albicans Involving SOD Enzymes and the Alternative Oxidase.

In eukaryotes, the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is a major cytosolic cuproprotein with a small fraction residing in the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) to protect against respiratory superoxide.
