S-nitrosothiols (RSNO), such as SNAP, GSNO, and Glc-SNAP-1 exhibited a
single, totally irreversible, diffusion controlled reduction peak at
potentials of -0.97 V, -0.98 V and -0.91 V, respectively, vs. Ag/AgCl
(3 M NaCl) reference electrode. This corresponded to the nitric oxide
(NO) release from the S-nitrosothiols. A possible mechanism is propose
d for the reduction process. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
