«Without a membrane, the photoanode and photocathode are close enough to each other to conduct electricity, and if you also have bubbles of highly
reactive hydrogen and oxygen gases being produced in the same place at the same time, that is a recipe for disaster,» Lewis says regarding his findings published in PNAS.

Ocean water permeating the porous rock of the core could be exposed to ionizing radiation
and undergo radiolysis, producing molecular
hydrogen and reactive oxygen compounds.
The damage sensors lit up first, with the
hydrogen peroxide marker following moments later, suggesting that the
reactive oxygen molecules are indeed a sign,
and not a cause, of injury.
The highly
reactive radical, Cl •, then abstracts a
hydrogen atom of CH4 to give methyl radicals, CH3 •, which in turn react with
oxygen to produce valuable methanol
and formic acid.
The cell envelops the foreign body
and exterminates it specifically by using
reactive oxygen species (ozone,
hydrogen peroxide, bleach), generated thanks to the enzyme NOX2.
Consequently, massive amounts of
reactive gases such as
oxygen,
hydrogen,
and methane are continually being added to Earth's now «anomalous» atmosphere faster than they would otherwise be removed by inorganic chemical processes.
Countering the prevailing theory that cellular
hydrogen peroxide signaling is broad
and non-specific, Whitehead Institute scientists have discovered that this
reactive oxygen species (ROS) in fact triggers a distinct signal transduction cascade under control of the mitochondrial respiratory chain — the Syk pathway — that regulates transcription, translation, metabolism,
and the cell cycle in diverse cell types.
This required the development of strict protocols for exposure
and handling due to the relatively
reactive nature of the alloys to
hydrogen - or
oxygen - rich environments.
The addition of this pendant catalyst created an MnP - PVPON / TA capsule with the following characteristics: 1) the microcapsules synergistically remove
reactive oxygen species, including superoxide
and hydrogen peroxide, at dramatically increased rates compared to unmodified TA / PVPON microcapsules; 2) the microcapsule does not degrade with long exposure to
reactive oxygen species;
and 3) the microcapsules are nontoxic to mouse splenocytes.
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.)
Spectra, through research, has been reported to decrease ROS (
reactive oxygen species, decrease extracellular H2O2 (
hydrogen peroxide),
and reduce TNFα - induced inflammatory response in humans.
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.&

Generation of
reactive oxygen species, or free radicals such as superoxide
and hydrogen peroxide, is a normal byproduct of metabolism, but can damage cellular machinery when excessive
and impair the production of cellular energy, which becomes a vicious cycle as energy - intensive repair processes become untenable (25, 26).
The
hydrogen was lost to space leaving highly
reactive oxygen to combust reduced carbon (C
and CH4)
and sulphur (inc sulphide) to acid gases as well as oxidise near surface elemental or ferrous iron to ferric (red) iron.
Since life mostly consist out of carbon,
hydrogen,
oxygen and «
reactive nitrogen», ecosystems within the earth's biosphere were established based on what element was limiting.
In earlier versions, the nickel - molybdenum - zinc alloy catalyst used to produce the
hydrogen also created
reactive oxygen species, which would attack
and destroy the bacteria's DNA.
