Testing for the most suitable particle ratio between SOD and nanoceria to maintain disproportionation in a heated environment because of the heat caused by inflammation. It was firstly verified that SOD would denature significantly as the temperature increased from 60 to 90 degrees Celsius. Results also showed that nanoceria provides an increase in free radical scavenging when conjugated with SOD. We can conclude that the 1:10 and 1:5 particle ratios between SOD and nanoceria were the most suitable particle ratios because for all temperatures it had the highest activity. Further tests should be done to narrow down an even more suitable particle ratio.
