Aj. Holmes et Dlh. Williams, REACTION OF S-NITROSOTHIOLS WITH ASCORBATE - CLEAR EVIDENCE OF 2 REACTIONS, Chemical communications, (16), 1998, pp. 1711-1712
Ascorbate reacts with S-nitrosothiols at pH 7.4 via two pathways, in w
hich ascorbate (at low concentration) acts as a reducing agent generat
ing Cu-I, and (at high concentration) acts as a nucleophile, attacking
the nitroso group.
