Gl. Squadrito et Wa. Pryor, THE FORMATION OF PEROXYNITRITE IN-VIVO FROM NITRIC-OXIDE AND SUPEROXIDE, Chemico-biological interactions, 96(2), 1995, pp. 203-206
Peroxynitrite is predicted to be formed in vivo from the reaction of n
itric oxide and superoxide. Nitric oxide at concentrations as low as 3
nM is expected to compete efficiently for superoxide near the surface
of endothelial cells, based on competition kinetics.
