Here, the thermostability of the superoxide-generating prion-derived peptides was tested. Among the peptides tested, two maintained high catalytic activity even after heating and repeated freezing/thawing cycles. The biological roles for these thermostable catalysts are discussed.}, pages = {1218--1220}, title = {Thermo-Stable Nature of Aromatic Monoamine-Dependent Superoxide-Generating Activity of Human Prion-Derived Cu-Binding Peptides}, volume = {73}, year = {2014} }
