Overview

Dismutases are enzymes whose main function is to catalyse the oxidation of molecules. They are important in metabolism, as they help to maintain the balance between molecules in a cell. Dismutases have been found to have several important roles in the body, such as helping to break down reactive oxygen species (ROS) and detoxifying byproducts of metabolic pathways. They can also help to regulate energy production and oxidative stress levels, helping to keep the body healthy. Dismutases are also useful in the production of biofuels, as they can be used to increase the efficiency of the oxidation process.
