Bond or cage effect: How nitrophorins transport and release nitric oxide

Most blood-sucking insects possess salivary proteins which, upon injection into the victim's tissue, help them improve their feeding. One group of these salivary proteins takes advantage of the vasodilator properties of NO to perform this task. These proteins are the so-called nitrophorins (NPs...
