Abstract

Summary The chain peroxide mechanism of autoxidation is briefly compared with the semiquinone mechanism. It is pointed out that the coenzymes involved in biological oxidation-reductions are much more likely to undergo reaction with oxygen via the semiquinone mechanism than by the chain, bound peroxide mechanism.
