Difference between Radical (chemistry) and Reactive oxygen species

Radical (chemistry) vs. Reactive oxygen species

In chemistry, a radical (more precisely, a free radical) is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired valence electron. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive chemical species containing oxygen.

Similarities between Radical (chemistry) and Reactive oxygen species

Radical (chemistry) and Reactive oxygen species have 26 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alzheimer's disease, Antioxidant, Antioxidant effect of polyphenols and natural phenols, Catalase, DNA, Electron transport chain, Free-radical theory of aging, Glutathione peroxidase, Hearing loss, Hormesis, Hydrogen peroxide, Hydroperoxyl, Hydroxyl radical, Ionizing radiation, Melanin, Molecule, Myocardial infarction, Oxidative stress, Oxygen, Signal transduction, Singlet oxygen, Stroke, Superoxide, Superoxide dismutase, Tocopherol, Ultraviolet.

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD), also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Electron transport chain

An electron transport chain (ETC) is a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox (both reduction and oxidation occurring simultaneously) reactions, and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H+ ions) across a membrane.

Free-radical theory of aging

The free radical theory of aging (FRTA) states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time.

Glutathione peroxidase

Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is the general name of an enzyme family with peroxidase activity whose main biological role is to protect the organism from oxidative damage.

Myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle.

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.

Signal transduction

Signal transduction is the process by which a chemical or physical signal is transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events, most commonly protein phosphorylation catalyzed by protein kinases, which ultimately results in a cellular response.
