AOD: the antioxidant protein database

Abstract An antioxidant is a molecule that can prevent free radicals from causing damages in organisms. The increasing studies on antioxidants calls for a specialized database that is not readily available yet. To this end, in the present study, the Antioxidant Database (AOD) was developed to help r...
