X-ray reduction correlates with soaking accessibility as judged from four non-crystallographically related diiron sites
X-ray reduction of diiron sites in a metalloprotein crystal correlates with their soaking accessibility, indicating that a diffusion component is involved in the reduction process.

Prochelator BHAPI protects cells against paraquat-induced damage by ROS-triggered iron chelation
A prochelator named BHAPI converts to the chelator HAPI upon reaction with H2O2 and protects cells under oxidative stress induced directly by H2O2 or indirectly by the cytotoxic herbicide paraquat.
