## Abstract In the presence of H~2~O~2~, heme proteins form active intermediates, which are able to oxidize exogenous molecules. Often these products are not stable compounds but reactive species on their own, such as organic radicals. They can both diffuse to the bulk of the solution or react with

## Abstract Blue light from dental photopolymerization devices has significant biological effects on cells. These effects may alter normal cell function of tissues exposed during placement of oral restorations, but recent data suggest that some lightβinduced effects may also be therapeutically usef
The pathology of Parkinson's disease involves oxidative damage to dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. Oxidation of the dopamine (DA) neurotransmitter itself may contribute to the generation of a reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent neurodegeneration. Glia cells can either exacerbat
Nitration of tyrosine residues in proteins represents a pathological event that is associated with several human and animal diseases. Besides the classical pathways of formation of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) by NO oxidation, several studies show that heme peroxidases also play an important role
