Reactions of oxygen molecule in biology III.
4. Decomposition of H2O2 (or peroxides):
- through reduction: peroxidases
H2O2 + SH2 → S + 2 H2O
- through disproportionation: catalases
2 H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
5. Decomposition of the superoxide radical anion:
superoxide dismutase – through
disproportionation
2 O2- → O2 + O22e.g. CuZn-SOD, Fe(Mn)-SOD, ...
