Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a major factor in the development of several types of cancer, inflammation, and related diseases. These ROS are not only cytotoxic but also involved in cell signaling.[1] The protection from ROS is of vital importance for biological organisms. For aerobic organisms, superoxide dismutases (SODs) play the major role in protecting cells from ROS, which are generated by the reduction of molecular oxygen by reactive metabolites of the respiratory chain.[2] Because of their biological and medical importance, SODs are a subject of intense research, which yielded more than 2000 publications in the first six months of 2010. While this research has led to detailed knowledge about their biological function and enzyme kinetics, the precise mode of action of these enzymes is still not known and two different mechanisms were proposed.[3] A major reason for this lack of knowledge is the high catalytic rate constants of superoxide degradation (O2CÀ) by SODs. SODs destroy the superoxide anion radical by converting it into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen with a rate near the diffusion limit (kcat> 2 109 m À1 sÀ1).[4] Thus all transients involved in their action are too short lived to be amenable for a spectroscopic characterization. For this reason model systems of SODs were developed. Herein we show that the investigation of a model system of the nickel superoxide dismutase (NiSOD) is able to shed light into the mode of action of this enzyme and makes it possible to decide between the proposed mechanisms. In particular we are able to reveal not only the mode of binding of the substrate to the enzyme also the presence of functional water molecules in the active site of the enzyme. Three independent classes of SODs are known. They contain either a dinuclear (Cu, Zn) or a mononuclear (Fe, Mn, Ni) cofactor.[1b, 5] NiSOD, as a mononuclear nickel-containing metalloenzyme, cycles between NiII and NiIII during catalysis.[3a, 4b, 6] NiSOD was first found in 1996 in Streptomyces.[5a] Crystallographic and spectroscopic studies give an impression of the structure of the whole enzyme and the geometry of its active site with a single covalently bound nickel ion. The nickel ion is embedded within the so-called nickel-hook formed by the first six amino acids of the N-terminus of the active form of S. coelicolor NiSOD (Scheme 1).[3a, 4b, 6, 7]For detailed investigations on the catalytic mechanism of the NiSOD enzyme, several catalytically active metallopeptide NiSOD models were developed based on the first 12, 9, 7, or 6 residues from the N-terminus of the active form of S. coelicolor NiSOD.[3b, c, 8] Two mechanisms were discussed [3], which differ in the binding of the substrate. Depending on whether the substrate is bound in the first coordination sphere of the nickel ion or not they are called inner-sphere or outersphere electron-transfer (ET) mechanism, respectively. Recently some of us were able to synthesize and characterize a metallopeptide–substrate model complex employing cyanide as a substrate analogue. these results gave strong support for the inner-sphere ET mechanism.[9] Studies of CuZnSODs have shown that cyanide, as a very powerful inhibitor of SODs, is ideally suited for functional studies of SODS. With CuZnSOD, cyanide forms a stable
