Abstract:
One of the most convenient methods for measuring superoxide dismutase activity is a plate assay using xanthine oxidase and the water soluble tetrazolium WST-1. For reliable results with WST-1, certain aspects of the procedure need to be adhered to. This article describes an appropriate protocol that minimizes sources of variability.
