Possible Interaction: Copper and Molecular Oxygen

supplement:

Copper

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Paradoxically, the same redox properties of copper can make it extremely dangerous because it can catalyze production of free radical intermediates from molecular oxygen.

In the presence of molecular oxygen , the BOD cofactor containing 4 copper ions require an overpotential about 150 mV to be reduced as compared to that in the absence of oxygen.
Nature Communications  •  2020  |  View Paper
The presence of transition biometal ions, specifically copper and iron, induces ROS formation by catalyzing the reduction of molecular oxygen to superoxide anion (O2˙-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl (HO˙) radical.
