Redox-active Metal Ions
- Molecular classification
- Metal Ions, Enzyme Cofactors
01
Overview
Redox-active metal ions are metal ions capable of undergoing reversible changes in their oxidation state, enabling them to participate in electron transfer reactions. Key examples include Copper (Cu(I/II)) and Iron (Fe(II/III)). They serve as essential cofactors for enzymes involved in various biological processes, including oxidative metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. Dysregulation of redox-active metal ion homeostasis can lead to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress, contributing to neurodegenerative diseases. Therapeutic strategies involve the use of chelators to bind excess free metal ions, restoring homeostasis and mitigating oxidative damage.
