hidroxiláció
Hidroxiláció is a chemical process that involves the addition of a hydroxyl group (-OH) to a molecule. This group is composed of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom. Hydroxylation is a common type of oxidation reaction and is a crucial step in many metabolic pathways within biological systems. It can also occur in various chemical synthesis reactions.
In organic chemistry, hydroxylation often increases the polarity and water solubility of a molecule. This modification
Enzymes known as hydroxylases catalyze these reactions in living organisms. These enzymes often require cofactors, such
