univalent reduction |
0.01 sec. |
|
univalent reduction, a phenomenon during intracellular metabolism involving oxygen-reduction reactions in which superoxide radicals are produced because oxygen accepts electrons only one at a time. In the short period between acceptance of the first and second electrons, one electron is unpaired and oxygen is a superoxide radical. The superoxide may then be converted to a second free radical.
