Zusammenfassung: | Bovine Cu,Zn‐SOD was chemically modified with an end‐group aminated dextran derivative using a water‐soluble carbodiimide as coupling agent. The enzyme retained 81% of the initial catalytic activity after the attachment of about 4.4 mol of polymer per protein subunit. The anti‐inflammatory activity of the SOD was two times increased after conjugation with dextran. The modified enzyme was remarkably more resistant to inactivation by H2O2 and its plasma half‐life time was prolonged from 4 min to 3.2 h. |
