Abstract

Thiol-containing proteins are key to numerous cellular processes, and their functions can be modified by thiol nitrosation or oxidation. Nitrosation reactions are quenched by O-2, while the oxidation chemistry mediated by peroxynitrite is quenched by excess flux of either NO or O-2. A solution of gl...
