Abstract
Superoxide Dismutases (SODs) are metalloenzymes, used as a defense against oxidative damage caused by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in aerobic organisms, through the conversion of superoxide anion into molecular oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Superoxide dismutases of Fe and Mn have sequences that are highly conserved, especially those residues that are around the active site (i…
