Antioxidants had a growing interest owing to their protective roles in food and
pharmaceutical products against oxidative deterioration and in the body and against …

Recently, there has been growing interest in research into the role of plant-derived
antioxidants in food and human health. The beneficial influence of many foodstuffs and …

The present paper aims at reviewing and commenting on the analytical methods applied to
antioxidant and antioxidant capacity assessment in plant‐derived products. Aspects related …

Methods available for the measurement of antioxidant capacity are reviewed, presenting the
general chemistry underlying the assays, the types of molecules detected, and the most …

A procedure based on density functional theory is used for the calculation of the gas-phase
bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) and ionization potential for molecules belonging to the …

The base pair stack within double helical DNA provides an effective medium for charge
transport. The DNA π-stack mediates oxidative DNA damage over long molecular distances …

The transport of charge through the DNA base-pair stack offers a route to carry out redox
chemistry at a distance. Here we describe characteristics of this chemistry that have been …

While the central primary biological function of desoxyribonucleic acid DNA involves
information storage and transduction, its electrical properties are of considerable interest in …

Electrons migrate over long distances along the DNA in a multistep hopping process where
the rate of each step depends strongly upon its length. The efficiency of this process is not …

Mechanism of photo-induced electron transfer and the subsequent hole transfer in DNA has
been studied extensively, but so far we are not aware of any reliable report of the …
