The fast - moving electrons in the plasma slam into these molecules, producing highly reactive
species such as
hydroxyl and nitric - oxide molecules.
I've been experimenting with T10 dextran coated iron oxide nanoparticles, obviously not the same as fullerenes, but still a very interesting tool, I've been testing if the coating is giving the particle antioxidant abilities because of it's the (basically) indigestable sugar chains (glucose) creating a high surface area which are largely made from
hydroxyl groups, I hypothesised this act's as a «sink» for reactive oxygen
species converting them to water.
However, up to 2 % of electrons which are transferred through the respiratory chain lead to the formation of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) in the form of superoxide anion (O 2 −), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and
hydroxyl radical (OH.)
While there are many types of free radicals that can be formed, the most common in aerobic (oxygen breathing) organisms are oxygen free radicals, often referred to as Reactive Oxygen
Species (ROS), which include superoxides,
hydroxyl anions, hydrogen peroxide and singlet oxygen.»
Additional output from the ACCMIP runs will include concentration / mass of radiatively active
species, aerosol optical properties, and radiative forcings (clear and all sky) as well as important parameters that do not directly influence climate such as
hydroxyl, chemical reaction rates, deposition rates, emission rates, surface pollutants and diagnostics of tracer transport.
