The validation considering two SOD structures was conducted: 1 for the fully reduced enzyme - 1Q0E (resolution of 1.15 Å); and for the structure used in the parameterization - 1CBJ. The two chains were considered in the validation (A, and B), and the brackets denotes the decoordinated residue upon reduction.
