I Like to Move It, Move It Flashcards
At body temperature, oxygen is..
inert (non-reactive)
Note: reactivity requires high heat (activation energy)
At body temperature, oxygen is always activated by..
metal ions.
e.g., iron, copper, manganese
Most of the oxygen usage is committed to..
oxidative phosphorylation.
Oxidation is..
loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state.
Reduction is..
gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state.
At body temp, activation of O2 is mediated by..
metal ions.
Free redox active metal ions are generally..
sequestered.
Partially reduced, reactive forms of oxygen are..
reactive oxygen species.
Reduction of superoxide yields..
H2O2.
Reduction of H2O2 causes a hemolytic reaction that releases..
hydroxyl (OH) and hydroxide ion (OH-).
You should know:
H2O2, superoxide, hypochlorite ion, OH radical.
A cluster of atoms, one of which contains an unpaired electron in its outermost shell of electrons is..
a radical.
3 ways of ROS formation..
1) O2 with reactive metal
2) in mitochondrial electron transfer rxn
3) enzymatic rxn
Fenton reaction
Fe2+ + H2O2 OH + OH-
Oxidative stress is balanced by..
ROS producing factors and antioxidants.
Oxidative stress generated during ischemia/reperfusion results from..
disruption of electron transfer chain.
ROS damages cell membrane by interacting with..
polyunsaturated fatty acids to create lipid peroxide.
ROS damages DNA by causing..
DNA break.
ROS oxidize amino acids to damage..
protein function.
