Also, nanopatterned surfaces with different motives may be fabricated to bind biomolecules in a predetermined way. The designed nanopattern may provide an improved functionality for the catalytic properties or for the detection of the assembled proteins and their ligands. Superoxide dismutases are enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. These enzymes have great physiological significance and therapeutic potential in the prevention of the oxidative damage from superoxide radicals, and may serve to estimate peroxynitrite radicals [1]. The superoxide radical and SOD have been implicated in many disease states including inflammatory diseases, diseases of ischemia and reperfusion, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer, as well as more subtle roles in cell signaling and perhaps in immune function [2]. FeSOD, a plant superoxide dismutase, is a very stable biomolecule, it contains an iron atom in a well characterized 3D protein structure [3], which may serve as model for conjugates studies, as well as a model for develop methods and strategies easily applicable to human SODs. In this work, we present the characterization of the conjugates between FeSOD enzyme and nanopatterned surfaces. We will describe the manufacturing of the nanopatterned surfaces, the production and purification of recombinant protein FeSOD, the functional immobilization of the purified enzymes, as well as the results of the immunological and enzymatic methods, used for demonstrate the protein is effectively attached to the nanostructure and maintains intact its activity.
