Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) possesses many physiological effects and S-nitrosothiols have been identified in a variety of tissues exhibiting many NO-like activi ties. This review focuses on the latest discoveries pertaining to the biolo gical functions of S-nitrosothiols and the recent research progress in the chemical properties and biomedical applications of RSNOs.
