Chemical fingerprints of cold physical plasmas – an experimental and computational study using cysteine as tracer compound
Abstract Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species released by cold physical plasma are being proposed as effectors in various clinical conditions connected to inflammatory processes. As these plasmas can be tailored in a wide range, models to compare and control their biochemical footprint are desired t...
