Backwards reasoning?
As an inorganic chemist with no specific expertise in this area, I request clarification of the first sentence of the third paragraph: "The formal reduction potentials for ABTS are high enough for it to act as an electron donor for the reduction of . . . ." An electron donor is a reducing agent, which is itself being oxidized. So the reduction half-reaction and the sign of the potential would be reversed. Should it read, "The formal reduction potentials for ABTS are low enough"? Robert Richman 14:38, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

| == Article cleanup == I'm having a bash at cleaning this up in my user space User:Grunkhead/ABTS. For now I'm sorting out the references, adding some specific values for formal redox potentials, and adding uses in the pulp and paper industry. Until that's done, if there are no objections, and until a revised article is back in place, I'm happy to incorporate suggested amendments in my space. Grunkhead (talk) 12:13, 21 October 2009 (UTC) |
