Does water have a role in increasing the effectiveness of enzyme antioxidants?
Water by definition can't be an antioxidant. Another question is whether water is involved in the reactions of RNOS with molecules of antioxidant. This depends on the reaction. Plz, give an example of "enzymatic antioxidant."
Your post clearly demonstrate that you need to learn basics of chemistry. You just put together scientific terms without understanding what is behind the used terminology. Sorry for the straightforward wording. I would advise you to remove your post.
Yurii V Geletii I think "enzyme antioxidants" means proteins involved in the catalytic transformation of reactive oxygen species, e.g. superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase.
Dear Tomasz Czernecki , thanks, I know. Commonly, they are called in literature as antioxidant enzymes or enzymatic antioxidants. This would be more professional.
