Role of Superoxide Anions in the Redox Changes Affecting the Physiologically Occurring Cu(I)-Glutathione Complex

The physiologically occurring copper-glutathione complex, [Cu(I)-[GSH]2], has the ability to react continually with oxygen, generating superoxide anions (O2•−). We addressed here the effects that superoxide removal has on the redox state of Cu(I) and GSH present in such complex and assessed the form...
