The 170MHZ 1 H n.m.r. spectra of the Cu(II)/Zn(II), Cu(I)/Zn(II) and apo- forms of human erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) are reported. Resonances are assigned to the C-2 and C-4 protons of histidine residues in the active site, and it is suggested that five or six histidine residues serve as ligands to the metal ions in each subunit of the enzyme. The remaining assigned resonances are associated with histidine-41, N-terminal N-acetyl group, histidine- 108 and cysteine- 109. A comparison of the n.m.r. spectra of human and bovine superoxide dismutases suggests significant structural homology.

The structure of yeast phosphoglycerate mutase determined by X-ray crystallographic and amino acid sequence studies has been interpreted in terms of the chemical, kinetic and mechanistic observations made on this enzyme. There are two histidine residues at the active site, with imidazole groups almost parallel to each other and approximately 0.4 nm apart, positioned close to the 2 and 3 positions of the substrate. The simplest interpretation of the available information suggests that a ping-pong type mechanism operates in which at least one of these histidine residues participates in the phosphoryl transfer reaction. The flexible C-terminal region also plays an important role in the enzymic reaction.
