Reaction: Asc.- radical dissociates to AscH- and DeHA
- in pathway: Vitamin C (ascorbate) metabolism
The ascorbate radical (Asc.-) easily donates an electron, forming a stable radical which dissociates into ascorbate (AscH-), the dominant form at physiological pH, and dehydroascorbate (DeHA). This reaction is the basis for its antioxidant properties (Du et al. 2013).
Reaction - small molecule participants:
DeHA [cytosol]
AscH- [cytosol]
H+ [cytosol]
Asc.- [cytosol]
