Copper (Cu) is essential for most organisms, but it can be poisonous in excess, through mechanisms such as protein aggregation, trans-metallation, and oxidative stress. The latter could implicate the formation of potentially harmful reactive oxygen s... Read More about Revisiting the pro-oxidant activity of copper: interplay of ascorbate, cysteine, and glutathione.
