Article Synopsis
- Nonmetal-containing peroxidase enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase, help maintain cellular redox levels by reducing hydrogen peroxide through a dual-attack mechanism.
- Researchers synthesized two compounds that mimic this GPx-like activity by incorporating a selenolate group and a proton donor, significantly enhancing their ability to cleave the O-O bond in hydrogen peroxide.
- These compounds not only exhibit strong antioxidant properties but also protect metal complexes from oxidative stress by acting as sacrificial antioxidants, thus preventing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
