Bioplastic hydroxyl radical trapping
The hydroxyl radical is the reactive oxygen species most cytotoxic to cells. A bioplastic-based hydroxyl radical scavenger that is more efficient than glutathione and vitamin C has been found to be produced by bacteria, adding an interesting twist to the story of oxidative stress defense by intracel...

| Zusammenfassung: | The hydroxyl radical is the reactive oxygen species most cytotoxic to cells. A bioplastic-based hydroxyl radical scavenger that is more efficient than glutathione and vitamin C has been found to be produced by bacteria, adding an interesting twist to the story of oxidative stress defense by intracellular pathogens. |
