Bacteria require iron as a cofactor in essential processes such as respiration, DNA synthesis and defence against oxidative stress. Yet iron is scarce in many environments due to its low solubility ...

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) constitute a family of metalloenzymes that catalyse the dismutation of the superoxide anion into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, thereby forming a primary defence against ...

Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a ...

Extracellular matrix stiffness comprises one of the multiple environmental mechanical stimuli that are well known to influence cellular behavior, function, and fate in general. Although increasingly ...

Oxic environments are hazardous. Molecular oxygen adventitiously abstracts electrons from many redox enzymes, continuously forming intracellular superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. These species can ...
