Abstract excerpt
The superoxide anions in the human body are reduced into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen by the metallo enzyme Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase 1. The disulfide bond in SOD1 is essential to maintain the structural stability of protein and its proper folding. A computational study on the disulfide bond with the addition of residues was made using three different level of theories viz., B3LYP/6-31G (d,p),...
