TLDR
In this paper, a weak ESR signal at g=2.013 was used to detect trioxocarbonate(1−) radicals (CO3.−) forming an adduct that absorbs with a maximum at 640 nm and an extinction coefficient of ca. 2 × 102 m−1 cm−1.Abstract:
Peroxynitrite (ONOO−, oxoperoxonitrate(1−)) reacts with carbon dioxide to form an adduct that absorbs with a maximum at 640 nm and an extinction coefficient of ca. 2 × 102 M−1 cm−1. Within 0.1 s at 4°, this absorption decreases while the maximum is shifted to lower wavelengths, which indicates that trioxocarbonate(1−) radicals (CO3.−) are formed. This interpretation is supported by the observation of a weak ESR signal at g=2.013.read more

NAD(P)H, a directly operating antioxidant?
Michael Kirsch,Herbert de Groot +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that NAD(P)H represents a decisive, directly operating an‐t antioxidant that should be considered of major importance in the mitochondrial compartment and fulfills this task both by scavenging toxic free radicals and repairing biomolecule‐derived radicals.
