“…Apart from the photodynamic generation of singlet oxygen (Vinnikova, Kukreja & Hess, 1992, Penning et al, 1994Ishibashi, Lee & Okabe 1996), Fenton or Fenton-like reactions were frequently used (Mishra et al, 1989;Thomas & Reed, 1990;Chen et al, 1992;Rohn, Hinds & Vincenzi, 1993Huang et al, 1994;Shao et al, 1995). Alternatively, the enzymes were exposed to various reactive oxygen species such as the superoxide anion generated by xanthine oxidase (Elmoselhi et al, 1994), to hydrogen peroxide (Boldyrev & Kurella, 1996), to hypochlorous acid (Kato et al, 1998) or to free radicals of water radiolysis (Hitschke et al, 1994;Mense, Stark & Apell, 1997).…”
