The research group at Iowa found, however, that tumor tissue's abnormally high levels of redox active iron molecules (a by - product of abnormal mitochondrial metabolism) react with vitamin C to form hydrogen peroxide and free radicals derived from hydrogen peroxide. (sciencedaily.com)
The latter is significantly more difficult to achieve, which contributes to why the researchers» accomplishment in showing that the new iron molecule emits orange light is so important. (sciencedaily.com)
