A microscopic study of the deoxyhemoglobin-catalyzed generation of nitric oxide from nitrite anion
There is recent evidence suggesting that nitrite anion (NO2 -) represents the major intravascular NO storage molecule whose transduction to NO is facilitated by a reduction mechanism catalyzed by deoxygenated hemoglobin (deoxy-Hb). In this work, we provide a detailed microscopic study of deoxy-Hb ni...
