Abstract excerpt
Recent studies from this laboratory have demonstrated that human manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is a target for tyrosine nitration in several chronic inflammatory diseases including chronic organ rejection, arthritis, and tumorigenesis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is the only known biological oxidant competent to inactivate enzymatic activity, nitrate critical tyrosine...
