Oxidative stress induced in live HeLa cells by menadione (2-methyl-1,4-napthaquinone) was studied in real time by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The hydrophobic molecule menadione diffuses through a living cell membrane where it is toxic to the cell. However, in the

Enzymes catalyzing the two-electron reduction of quinones to hydroquinones are thought to protect the cell against quinone-induced oxidative stress. Using menadione as a substrate, carbonyl reductase, a cytosolic, monomeric oxidoreductase of broad specificity for carbonyl compounds, was found to be
