Nitric Oxide Inactivation Mechanisms in the Brain: Role in Bioenergetics and Neurodegeneration
During the last decades nitric oxide (•NO) has emerged as a critical physiological signaling molecule in mammalian tissues, notably in the brain. •NO may modify the activity of regulatory proteins via direct reaction with the heme moiety, or indirectly, via S-nitrosylation of thiol groups or nitrati...
