... arrangements which is said to be stable to oxidation stress. Meanwhile, lipids (e.g. fatty acids) are less stable to oxidation stress because the hydrocarbon chain located at the back of the carboxyl heads is in a higher reductive stage compared to C-alpha or carbonyl group in protein/amino acid. ...
