Nitric oxide: a brief overview of chemical and physical properties relevant to therapeutic applications
نویسنده
چکیده
Nitric oxide (nitrogen monoxide, •NO) has been intensively studied by chemists and physicists for over 200 years and thus there is an extensive database of information that determines its biological actions. This is a very brief overview of the chemical and physical properties of •NO that are most relevant to Biology in general and to the development of •NO releasing materials in particular.
