Figure 6

The absorbance changes of the stable 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical was measured in three independent experiments at the OD of 517 nm in the presence of PQS, HHQ and ascorbate. Error bars mark the standard deviation of three independent experiments. The decolorization is stoichiometric with respect to the number of electrons captured.
