When copper is not present in sufficient
quantities, the activity of superoxide dismutase is diminished, and the
damage to cell membranes caused by superoxide radicals is increased.
When functioning in this enzyme, copper works together with the mineral
zinc, and it is actually the ratio of copper to zinc, rather than the
absolute amount of copper or zinc alone, that helps the enzyme function
properly.
