NO is an inorganic free-radical gaseous molecule, N= O, which has been shown over the
last decade to play an unprecedented range of roles in biological systems. In various …

Nitric oxide (NO) can act as a vasorelaxant, a modulator of neurotransmission and a defence
against pathogens. However, under certain conditions, NO can also have damaging effects …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the important aspects of the solution chemistry of
nitrogen oxide (NO) and reactive nitrogen oxide species (RNOS), biochemical targets of NO …

Nitric oxide (NO) was long thought of as a poisonous, pungent-smelling gas: an unpleasant
and dangerous product of the oxidation of ammonia and of incomplete combustion of …

Nitric oxide is not only an important intracellular regulator and cytostatic effector but it is also
the starting point for a cascade of physiologically important oxygenation reactions, whose by …

Biologically produced nitric oxide (NO) originates from oxygen and L-arginine in the reaction
catalyzed by NO synthase (NOS) enzymes (NOS, EC 1.14. 13.39), first reported in the late …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless gas that contains an unpaired electron which is delocalized
over the nitrogen and oxygen atoms. This free radical has been identified as a biomolecule …

Publisher Summary As a prerequisite to understanding the nature of the interactions of nitric
oxide (NO) with biochemical systems and its biological fate, it is essential to have a …

The free radical nitric oxide (NO) is the lowest molecular weight of any known bioactive
mammalian cell secretory product. It is an unusual mediator because it is a gas with no …

Nitric oxide (NO) has been discovered to play a fundamental role in a number of biological
phenomena. This book describes various aspects of nitric oxide biology, physiology and …
