Abstract excerpt
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a relatively stable oxidant produced by activated macrophages and neutrophils. To detect peroxynitrite, a novel human superoxide dismutase (SOD) trap was developed by substituting a tyrosine near the copper in the active site. The copper can catalyze nitration of this tyr...
