The incorporation of molecular oxygen into a molecular entity. There are three common mechanisms: Type I: the reaction of triplet molecular oxygen with radicals formed photochemically. Type II: the reaction of photochemically produced singlet molecular oxygen with molecular entities to give rise to oxygen containing molecular entities. The third mechanism proceeds by @[email protected] producing superoxide @[email protected] as the reactive species.
