✦ Synopsis

Nitric oxide is not only an important intracellular regulator and cytostatic effector but it is also the starting point for a cascade of physiologically important oxygenation reactions, whose by-products and intermediates have a largely unexplored biochemistry. These new biological discoveries are reshaping our appreciation of the remarkably complex chemistry that underlies it.
