First, oxygen is needed to gain energy from food (respiration) and for other processes. Second, toxic organic substances are eliminated from the body by oxidation, whereupon OH-groups are attached to the molecule (this specific process is called hydroxylation, in mammals it occurs mainly in the liver). This renders the toxic molecule water-soluble and it can be eliminated (through the urine in mammals). Cellular respiration C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O DG0 = -674 kcal/mol Elimination of xenobiotics. Example: hydroxalation of hexane by Cytochrome P450 OH n-Hexane 1-Hexanol minor OH + 1/2 O2 3-Hexanol minor 2-Hexanol major Cytochrome P450 OH Use of oxygen by aerobic organisms is hampered by two problems: 1. The solubility problem Water solubility of oxygen at 25oC and pressure = 1 bar is at 40 mg/L water. This is not enough to guarantee the oxygen supply to mitochondria by mere diffusion. Cells of aerobic organisms use therefore oxygen transporters. 2. The kinetic problem Oxygen has two unpaired electrons in its ground state and forms therefore a triplet state. The overwhelming majority of organic molecules (such as glucose or n-hexane) have all electrons paired and occur therefore in the singlet state. The products of oxidation of organic molecules, CO2 and H2O, are also in singlet states. According to the so-called Wigner-rule, processes in which the spin-state changes are « spin-forbidden », that is, they have a large kinetic barrier. The solution of the problem is binding of O2 to a transition metal complex. In transition metal complexes, spin-state changes are less inhibited due to the spin-orbit coupling. The oxygen-bound metal complex can therefore transit from a triplet state to a singlet state, and then react with an organic substrate which has also a singlet ground-state.
