The chain-breaking antioxidant activities of reduced form of novel type of geroprotectors, mitochondria-targeted quinones (QH(2)) have quantitatively been measured for the first time. To this end, the chain peroxidation of methyl linoleate (ML) in Triton micelles was used as a
Biochimica et biophysica acta, 722(2), 271-280 (1983-02-17)
(1) A kinetic analysis of electron donation into and through the cytochrome b-c1 complex isolated from bovine heart mitochondria has been undertaken, using trimethoquinol as the donor. (2) Rate constants of two routes of redox equilibration with quinols have been
Myeloperoxidase is very susceptible to reducing radicals because the reduction potential of the ferric/ferrous redox couple is much higher compared with other peroxidases. Semiquinone radicals are known to reduce heme proteins. Therefore, the kinetics and spectra of the reactions of
