We tested the theory that reactive oxygen species cause aging. We augmented the natural antioxidant systems of __Caenorhabditis elegans__ with small synthetic superoxide dismutase/catalase mimetics. Treatment of wild-type worms increased their mean life-span by a mean of 44 percent, and treatment of
## Abstract Superoxide dismutases are essential enzymes involved in detoxification of reactive oxygen by dismutation of the superoxide radical anion. A class of nickel containing superoxide dismutases has been described for streptomycetes and cyanobacteria. __In silico__ analysis was used to study
