Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are metal superoxides in the form of O2•–, such as KO2 and NaO2, peroxides in the form of O22−, such as Na2O2, K2O2, MgO2, and CaO2. All release H2O2 upon H2O-wetting. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) also belong to this group of chemicals that can be contained in the planetary soils or regoliths.
The prime aim and objectives of the 'Network of Researchers on the Chemical Evolution of Life' are to promote and disseminate research information relating to the chemical evolution of life on the Earth, from the advent of prebiotic chemistry through to the emergence of the cellular life forms, namely Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya.
