Hydrogen peroxide

Description

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of several reactive oxygen intermediates generally referred to as reacive oxygen species (ROS). It may either occur as an unwanted byproduct of biological reactions with the potential to damage cellular molecules and structures or be produced as a signaling molecule in cell metabolism.

Abbreviation: H2O2



MitoPedia topics: Substrate and metabolite 

Application in HRR

H2O2 can be measured concurrently with respiration using Amplex Red or an amperometric sensor (Measuring hydrogen peroxide)

H2O2 can be used for re-oxygenation in an experimental respirometric run.
