> 1 protein plus 1 electron

Assuming that was autocorrupt. :)

But 1+1... isn't that just normal hydrogen? Is the point that it's atomic, not H2?

Indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_(chemistry)

“In chemistry, a radical, also known as a free radical, is an atom, molecule, or ion that has at least one unpaired valence electron. With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make radicals highly chemically reactive. Many radicals spontaneously dimerize. Most organic radicals have short lifetimes.”

I wish I could blame autocorrect. Just had proteins on the brain and typed the wrong word. If it wasn't obvious, protein --> proton
