Meaning of transnitrosylation | Babel Free

Noun CEFR C2

Definitions

The transfer of nitrosyl (or nitrate) groups between molecules

Examples

“As mentioned above, different from the effects of the direct elevation of nitrite concentration in the plasma, the entero-salivary route of dietary nitrate/nitrite might enhance the availability of NO through the formation of S-nitrosothiols and its transnitrosylation to the other thiol residues of proteins, suggesting that, depending on the tissues and organs, separate metabolic pathways might exist for NO availability in this entero-salivary route.”
