Abstract excerpt
The nitrosation of cellular thiols has attracted much interest as a regulatory mechanism that mediates some of the pathophysiological effects of nitric oxide (NO). In cells, virtually all enzymes contain cysteine residues that can be subjected to S-nitrosation, whereby this process often acts as an activity switch. Nitrosation of biological thiols is believed to be mediated by N2O3, metal-nitrosyl complexes, and...
