Help me understand how carbon disulfide leads to toxicity in the brain, using terms like distal axonopathy, neurofilaments, covalent cross-linking, adducts, etc.,...please intuitively explain what is happening and where and the effects of it. For example, I know that CS2 reacts with amide and sulfhydryl groups on proteins, but what proteins exactly and where are they located?
What is the standard free energy change (in kJ/mole) of the spontaneous reaction between Oxygen and NADH to form H2O2 and NAD+?
Redox Chemistry: Give standard free energy changes expected for the following reactions:-Succinate -> fumarate (using FAD/FADH2)-Oxaloacetate -> Malate (using NAD/NADH)-NADH -->  NAD+ (using FMN/FMNH2)-CoQ --> CoQH2 (using Cytochrome C)
