Laser flash photolysis as tool in the elucidation of the nitric oxide binding mechanism to metallobiomolecules

摘要

The article presents a sampling of mechanistic studies on nitric oxide binding to metallobiomolecules. The main emphasis falls on the application of ambient and high pressure laser flash photolysis techniques in the elucidation of the mechanism of the reaction of NO with metals in active centres of biomolecules and complexes of potential medicinal application.
