Abstract:
SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) synzymes help breakdown superoxide into less harmful compounds. There are many metals that can be used to perform the reaction, mostly metals, however Vanadium isn't mentioned. What we wanted to assay was how Vanadium complexes compared to the other enzymes that are used as
