Abstract
AbstractA biochemical paradox that has been observed for many years is now becoming understood: O2, essential for the aerobic life forms, can be inappropriately metabolized, becoming toxic to an organism. Mammals derive most of their cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from the controlled four-electron reduction of O2, to form H2O by the mitochondrial electron-transport system. Approximately 98% of all O2 consumed by cells enters the mitochondria, where it is reduced by a terminal oxidase, such as cytochrome oxidase.
