Page/Page column 9; Sheet 4, (2010/02/05)
Free radicals and reactive oxygen species have the potential to damage a wide variety of organic molecules, typically by oxidizing certain moieties. These damaging species can, for example, be produced by an organism as a by-product of cellular respiratio

Traditional thinking has been that hexacoordinate Fe(III) ligands are more effective at preventing iron's interactions with reactive oxygen species, most particularly the Fe(II)-mediated reduction of hydrogen peroxide to the hydroxyl radical (i.e., Fenton
