Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

textHydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can reduce methemoglobin (metHb) but this is a slow reaction. However, the fast and practically irreversible reaction of ferrous heme-iron in ferrohemoglobin with carbon monoxide (CO) results in a shift of the equilibrium towards the carboxy forms of hemoglobin. The main impact of CO is not reduction of ferric heme-iron per se, but rather its arrest in the ferrous carboxy complex, a practically irreversible process. Equilibrium is then shifted via Le Chatelier's principle. Therefore, the net result of the reaction appears to be replacement of injurious plasma components, metHb and H2O2, by physiological, harmless, metabolites (Sher et al, 2012).
