Oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anions, can damage cellular components when produced in large amounts. When reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced at lower, regulated levels, ...
As great as is it, who would have expected the TV series Game of Thrones to be fodder for a chemistry lesson about electrons, oxidation, reduction and tin. But it is, thanks to (former) King Stannis ...
Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...
