Computational Quantum Chemistry Studies of the Stabilities of Radical Intermediates Formed During the Oxidation of Melatonin
Melatonin, a nontoxic natural antioxidant, is of interest as a possible spin trap for use in spectroscopic methods to observe and identify short-lived free radicals, which have been linked to oxidative stress that may result in serious health problems. However, the reaction mechanisms for the oxidat...
