Table 18.1 Reactive oxygen species.
Reactive Oxygen Species | Structure | Detection Reagents |
---|---|---|
Hydrogen peroxide | H2O2 | |
Hydroxyl radical * | HO• | |
Hypochlorous acid | HOCl | |
Nitric oxide | NO | |
Peroxyl radical, including both alkylperoxyl and hydroperoxyl radicals (wherein R = H) | ROO• | |
Peroxynitrite anion † | ONOO– | |
Singlet oxygen ‡ | 1O2 | |
Superoxide anion | •O2– |
|
* Hydroxyl radicals can also be photosensitized by malachite green isothiocyanate (M689) or generated by a N-(1,10-phenanthrolin-5-yl)iodoacetamide (P6879) metal–ligand complex. † 3-Nitrotyrosine, a product of this potent nitrating reagent, can be detected with an anti-nitrotyrosine antibody (A21285). ‡ Singlet oxygen can also be photosensitized by hypericin (H7476), rose bengal diacetate (R14000) and merocyanine 540 (M24571). |
