superoxide

An example is the production of superoxide by the electron transport chain.

Superoxide is one of the main reactive oxygen species in the cell.

It is unsafe to store in this manner if the superoxide has formed.

Thus, at physiological pH, the majority will exist as superoxide.

Potassium also burns in air easily, to make the peroxide or the superoxide.

It functions as an antioxidant, by inhibiting the release of superoxide.

It is also used to make superoxide ions.

Premature electron leakage to oxygen results in the formation of superoxide.

It can also lead to decreased life-span and increased production of superoxide ions.

Therefore it is essential for the cell to keep superoxide anions in check."

This yellow-orange solid is a salt of the superoxide anion.

Otherwise, the superoxide ion must be destroyed before it does unwanted damage in a cell.

It was proposed that the iron is oxidized and the oxygen reduced to superoxide.

In 13 patients they found telltale mutations in the superoxide gene.

Superoxide dismutase is an enzyme found in all living cells.

More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of superoxide dismutase for these uses.

The two most important oxygen-centered free radicals are superoxide and hydroxyl radical.

As a result of these fast acting processes, the steady state concentration of superoxide is very small.

However, they are able to produce a number of antioxidant proteins that block the effect of superoxide.

This superoxide is a pressure-sensitive explosive that will detonate when scratched.

With high amounts of energy available, mitochondria do not operate very efficiently and generate more superoxide.

This system is dangerous because of the explosively hot reaction that happens if water gets on the potassium superoxide.

Human white blood cells generate superoxide and other reactive oxygen species to kill bacteria.

The reaction of superoxide with non-radicals is spin forbidden.

The dismutation rate is second order with respect to initial superoxide concentration.
