Hi Chuck
Thank you very much!
I should have added that I am looking for human erythrocyte catalase and
SOD.
Our specific interests are (as mentioned before) thiols important for
activity and thiols located on the outside (able to crosslink) I am not
sure whether that can be derived from the sequences in the databases.
