    enzyme that neutralizes harmful superoxide radicals in cells

    Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in protecting cells from damage caused by superoxide radicals, which are harmful byproducts of cellular metabolism. By converting these superoxide radicals into less harmful molecules like hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, SOD helps to mitigate oxidative stress, which is linked to various diseases and aging processes.
