This diagram illustrates the quantum mechanical interaction of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) with tryptophan residues in proteins. Step 1 shows the initial interaction of ROS with tryptophan, labeled as 'ROS Interaction with Tryptophan'. This leads to Step 2, where a dioxetane intermediate is formed, labeled 'Dioxetane Formation'. In Step 3, the dioxetane cleaves to generate excited triplet carbonyl groups, marked as 'Dioxetane Cleavage'. Finally, Step 4 illustrates the energy transfer across aromatic networks within the protein, labeled as 'Energy Sharing Across Aromatic Networks'. Arrows indicate the direction of processes with transition names such as 'Oxidation → Cleavage → Excitation Transfer'. Molecular structures for ROS, tryptophan, dioxetane, and carbonyl groups are included and labeled for clarity.
