Role of metals in oxygen radical reactions

TL;DR: Factors such as pH and chelation govern the reactivity of the transition metals with dioxygen and "oxy-radicals" and therefore influence the apparent mechanisms by which oxidative damage to phospholipids, DNA, and other biomolecules is initiated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of a thiobarbituric-acid-reactive substance from deoxyribose in the presence of iron salts

TL;DR: The role of this radical @ iron-dependent damage to the sugar deoxyribose is examined, showing that treatment of several amino acids or carbohydrates with iron (II) salts in phosphate buffer causes formation of a product that reacts with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) to produce a chromogen.

Superoxide Dismutase Mimics: Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Therapeutic Potential

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the chemical properties and some in vivo effects observed with various classes of compounds with a special emphasis on porphyrin-based compounds is provided.

Stable Mn(III) porphyrins mimic superoxide dismutase in vitro and substitute for it in vivo.

TL;DR: Several manganic porphyrins, with substituents on the methine bridge carbons, were prepared and examined for stability, redox behavior, catalysis of the dismutation of superoxide radical (O2-), and the ability to protect a superoxide dismutase (SOD)-null strain of E. coli against dissolved oxygen and a SOD-competent strain against paraquat.
