Signaling Mechanisms of Oxygen and Nitrogen Free Radicals (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Once the existence of free radicals was proven, an avalanche of studies on free radical-mediated biological processes ensued. The study of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) is center stage in biological free radical investigations. Written by a biochemist, Signaling Mechanisms of Oxygen and Nitrogen Free Radicals discusses the regu

Introduction. Formation of superoxide by major enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
Formation of nitric oxide by no synthases. Formation of reactive oxygen and
nitrogen species originated from superoxide and nitric oxide. Mechanisms of
nucleophilic and one-electron transfer reactions of superoxide and NO.
Signaling functions of superoxide and nitric oxide in heterolytic
(nucleophilic) reactions. Mitochondrial disorders initiated by reactive
oxygen and nitrogen species. Antagonistic signaling by superoxide and
nitric oxide in pathological processes. Participation of superoxide and
nitric oxide in apoptosis. Competition between superoxide and nitric oxide
in aging and senescence.
