title: Dispersion of reactivity of copper proteins in solutions.
abstract: The redox reactions of superoxide dismutase and ceruloplasmin fit the simple kinetic schemes if the dispersion of their reactivities is accounted for by the time-dependent rate constants of the form k(t) = Bt alpha-1, 0 less than alpha less than or equal to 1. The lower the value of alpha the greater is the dispersion of reactivity. The limit of classical kinetics corresponds to alpha = 1.
