Superoxides - Compound Summary (CID 5359597) Also known as: dioxidanidyl, Superoxide, Superoxide anion, Hyperoxid, dioxide(1-), superoxide radical anion, superoxide radical, superoxyde, HYPEROXIDE Molecular Formula: O2- Molecular Weight: 31.9988 InChIKey: OUUQCZGPVNCOIJ-UHFFFAOYSA-M Highly reactive compounds produced when oxygen is reduced by a single electron. In biological systems, they may be generated during the normal catalytic function of a number of enzymes and during the oxidation of hemoglobin to METHEMOGLOBIN. In living organisms, SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE protects the cell from the deleterious effects of superoxides. From: MeSH | ||
