Oxidative modifications in nitrosative stress

Nat Struct Biol. 1998 Apr;5(4):247-9. doi: 10.1038/nsb0498-247.

Abstract

The molecular basis of redox sensitivity in proteins is not well understood. Here we consider a continuum of NO- and O2-related modifications of cysteine residues that constitute biological signaling events on the one hand and hallmarks of nitrosative and oxidative stresses on the other.
