Biologically relevant metal ion‐dependent hydroxyl radical generation An update

Abstract

Transition metal ions, especially iron, appear to be important mediators of oxidative damage in vivo. Iron(II) reacts with H 2 O 2 to give more‐reactive radicals. On the basis of ESR spin‐trapping data with DMPO, supported by aromatic hydroxylation studies and patterns of DNA base modification, it is concluded that hydroxyl radical (OH•) is likely to be the major damaging species formed in Fenton Systems under biologically‐relevant conditions (which include iron concentrations no higher than the micromolar range). Although reactive oxo‐iron species (such as ferryl and perferryl) may also be important, chemical evidence for their formation and identity in biologically relevant Fenton systems is currently lacking. Studies at alkaline pH values show that iron(IV) and iron(V) species are highly oxidizing under those reaction conditions, with a pattern of reactivity different from that of OH•.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
