Sensitive quantification of carbon monoxide in vivo reveals a protective role of circulating hemoglobin in CO intoxication
Mao et al. report highly sensitive quantification of carbon monoxide with a simple colorimetric assay, exploiting a synthetic supramolecular compound, hemoCD1. It can reveal distribution of CO in organs including the brain and can also serve as a CO scavenger for residual CO accumulated in organs. F...
