In my lab we investigate the mechanisms involved in oxidation/reduction (Redox) reactions. Redox reactions are closely involved in normal physiologic mechanisms. We propose that the formation of an organic redox complex is necessary for these reactions to take place. The formation of the organic redox complex also could explain the generation of harmful free radicals. We will be implementing biological, biochemical, and electrochemical techniques to investigate the formation of organic redox complexes and the associated effects.
