Terms & Properties

Concept Unique Identifier (CUI): C0030012

NCI Thesaurus Code: C16945  (see NCI Thesaurus info)

Semantic Type: Molecular Function

NCIt Definition: All electron-transfer reactions are considered oxidation/reduction reactions. The substance gaining electrons ("oxidizing agent" or "oxidant") is oxidizing the substance that is losing electrons ("reducing agent" or "reductant"). In the process, the "oxidizing agent" is itself reduced by the "reducing agent."

GO Definition: OBSOLETE. A metabolic process that results in the removal or addition of one or more electrons to or from a substance, with or without the concomitant removal or addition of a proton or protons. [GOC:dhl, GOC:ecd, GOC:jh2, GOC:jid, GOC:mlg, GOC:rph]

CSP Definition: chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred from one reactant to another.

MSH Definition: A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).
