| '''Redox signaling''' is the concept that ], ] and electrochemically active oxides of nitrogen such as ] act as biological messengers. Examples of reactive oxygen species include ] and ]. Arguably, ]<ref>Jerzy Bełtowski and Anna Jamroz-Wiśniewska, Modulation of H2S Metabolism by Statins: A New Aspect of Cardiovascular Pharmacology . Antioxidants & Redox Signaling.

Similarly, modulation of charge-transfer processes and electronic conduction in macromolecules is also redox signaling. For a review, see Forman.<ref>{{cite pmid|19735727}}</ref> For example, ] likely play a key role in fibrocyte activation<ref>{{cite pmid|16297593}}</ref><ref>{{cite pmid|11134893}}</ref> and thus scar formation. | |||

After initial opposition, this global concept was published in a 1984 review.<ref>{{cite pmid|6393156}}</ref> The next reference seems to be Bochner and coworkers.,<ref>{{cite pmid|6373012}}</ref> reporting increased synthesis of "]" adenylylated nucleotides as a specific response to oxidative stress in bacteria. | |||

| The formation of ROS such as ]<ref>{{Cite pmid| 20446770}}</ref> underlies much biotic and abiotic stress signaling. For example, as signaling molecules, hydrogen peroxide and other ROS post- translationally modify target proteins by oxidizing ] ], thus forming ] that reversibly alter protein structure and function.
