A DFT Study on the Kinetics of HOO^•, CH₃OO^•, and O₂^•− Scavenging by Quercetin and Flavonoid Catecholic Metabolites by Ana Amić, Denisa Mastiľák Cagardová

“…All studied polyphenolics have a potency of O₂^•− inactivation via a concerted two-proton–coupled electron transfer (2PCET) mechanism. The obtained results indicate that metabolites with notable radical scavenging potency, and more bioavailability than ingested flavonoids, may contribute to human health-promoting effects ascribed to parent molecules.…”

Photocatalytic reverse polarity Povarov reaction by Leitch, J, Fuentes De Arriba, A, Tan, J, Hoff, O, Martínez, C, Dixon, D

“…Operating via a putative nucleophilic α-amino radical, generated by a proton coupled electron transfer process, addition to a range of conjugated electron deficient alkene substrates affords substituted tetrahydroquinoline products in high yields and with typically good to excellent diastereoselectivity in favor of the trans diastereoisomer. …”

Rationale on the High Radical Scavenging Capacity of Betalains by Karina K. Nakashima, Erick L. Bastos

“…Here we show that <i>meta</i>-hydroxyphenyl betalain (<i>m</i>-OH-pBeet) and phenylbetalain (pBeet) show higher radical scavenging capacity compared to their <i>N</i>-methyl iminium analogues, in which proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from the imine nitrogen atom is precluded. …”

Structural evidence for a copper-bound carbonate intermediate in the peroxidase and dismutase activities of superoxide dismutase. by Richard W Strange, Michael A Hough, Svetlana V Antonyuk, S Samar Hasnain

“…The bound carbonate blocks direct access of substrates to Cu(I), suggesting that an adjunct to the accepted mechanism of SOD catalysed dismutation of superoxide operates, with Cu(I) oxidation by superoxide being driven via a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism involving the bound carbonate rather than the solvent. …”
