Oxygen-Linked S-Nitrosation in Fish Myoglobins: A Cysteine-Specific Tertiary Allosteric Effect
The discovery that cysteine (Cys) S-nitrosation of trout myoglobin (Mb) increases heme O2 affinity has revealed a novel allosteric effect that may promote hypoxia-induced nitric oxide (NO) delivery in the trout heart and improve myocardial efficiency. To better understand this allosteric effect, we...
