Abstract excerpt
NADPH oxidase (Nox) family proteins produce superoxide (O2 (⨪)) directly by transferring an electron to molecular oxygen. Dual oxidases (Duoxes) also produce an O2 (⨪) intermediate, although the final species secreted by mature Duoxes is H2O2, suggesting that intramolecular O2 (⨪) dismutation or...
