The metal atoms are losing electrons to form an ion. They are being oxidised. \(Mg(s) \to Mg_{}^{2 + }(aq) + 2e_{}^ - \) This is known as an ion-electron equation. Reduction is the opposite of ...

Oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anions, can damage cellular components when produced in large amounts. When reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced at lower, regulated levels, ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 63, No. 2 (March 2018), pp. 687-701 (15 pages) We investigated anaerobic nitrogen (N) cycling in the water column of Lake Kivu, a deep meromictic tropical lake in East ...

Oxidants, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), are known to induce damage to therapeutic proteins. Although cells and tissues usually have antioxidant systems to combat ROS and maintain the balance ...
