Exploring the enzyme inhibitory properties of Antarctic algal extracts
Abstract Objectives Marine organisms obtained from Antarctica are prominent sources for many important activities. Algae are known for adapting to various adverse environmental conditions and for producing secondary metabolites with various biological activities. This study examined the enzyme inhib...
