Oxygen dependence of nitric oxide-mediated signaling
Nitric oxide (·NO) is a biologically important short-lived free radical signaling molecule. Both the enzymatic synthesis and the predominant forms of cellular metabolism of ·NO are oxygen-dependent. For these reasons, changes in local oxygen concentrations can have a profound influence on steady-st...
