In silico modeling for identification of radio protectors of Phyto- and Phyco-origin based on their bioactivity properties

Leave a Comment / Articles/Blogs /

Upon exposure to ionizing radiation, living organisms may experience oxidative stress, which occurs when free radical generation surpasses the body’s natural defense mechanisms. This imbalance can lead to damage in biomacromolecules. Exogenous antioxidants have shown potential in combating such oxidative stress, particularly in cancer radiotherapy where it is crucial to protect non-cancerous tissues from the
