title: Redox chemistry of complexes of nickel(II) with some biologically important peptides in the presence of reduced oxygen species: an ESR study.
abstract: The reactions between some Ni(II) oligopeptides (Gly-His-Lys, (Gly)4, Asp-Ala-His-Lys, Gly-Gly-His, beta Ala-His, and serum albumin) and reduced oxygen species have been characterized by spin-trapping experiments using DMPO and Me2SO. Most of the peptides possessed superoxide dismutase- and catalase-like activities leading to the formation of either oxene [NiO]2+ or, in the case of beta Ala-His, hydroxyl radicals. Both these species may affect DNA integrity through distinct mechanisms.
