Description
In the Superoxide (SOD) Activity Assay, SOD ions are generated from the conversion of xanthine and O2 to uric acid and H2O2 by Xanthine Oxidase (XO). The superoxide anion then coverts the tetrazolium salt WST-1 to the colored product WST-1 formazan. SOD activity in the experimental sample is measured as the percent inhibition of the rate of WST-1 formazan formation.
