Abstract:
Many of the actions of nitric oxide are not due to nitric oxide itself, but rather by the secondary formation of oxidants like peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite leaves a footprint in the nitration of tyrosine, which helps track the formation of reactive nitric oxide-derived species in diseases and even normal development.
