Description

A review is presented of peroxy radical chemistry and its implication for radiation biology, using the techniques of pulse and steady-state radiolysis. The subject is dealt with in sections, entitled: electron transfer reactions from free radicals; the superoxide radical .02-; formation and detection of organic peroxy radicals; acid-base properties of peroxy radicals; stability of organic peroxy radicals; reactions of electron adducts and O2; slow reactions of radicals and oxygen; decay kinetics of peroxy radicals; intermediates of peroxy radical reactions; formation of hydroperoxides; peroxy radicals and molecular radiation biology; lethality in presence of oxygen; repair of damage.
