Generation of the hydroxylation agent from superoxide radical: can the Haber Weiss reaction be the source of OH radicals. Progress report, September 1, 1976--July 1, 1977

Description

In many biological systems, the role of O2- in hydroxylation and toxic processes, was assumed to be due to the formation of OH radicals. The Haber Weiss reaction (H2O2 + O2- → OH + OH- + O2) was suggested as the origin of this activity. In this study it is shown that this reaction pathway is too slow, and that probably OH is formed from the reaction of complexed superoxide with H2O2
