Thiyl radicals react with nitric oxide to form S-nitrosothiols with rate constants near the diffusion-controlled limit.
A possible route to S-nitrosothiols in biology is the reaction between thiyl radicals and nitric oxide. D. Hofstetter et al. (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.360:146-148; 2007) claimed an upper limit of (2.8+/-0.6)x10(7) M(-1)s(-1) for the rate constant between thiyl radicals derived from glutathione...
