Abstract
Free radicals are formed in prosthetic groups or amino acid residues of certain enzymes. These free radicals are closely related to the activation process in enzyme catalysis, but their formation does not always result in the formation of substrate free radicals as a product of the enzyme reaction. The role of free radicals in enzyme catalysis is discussed.Entities:
