Patent Granted S-nitrosylation specifically attaches to a thiol group, to form S-nitrosothiol (SNO). Where the thiol group belongs to a subset of specific cysteine residues in proteins, the resulting SNO is an S-nitrosoprotein. S-Nitrosylation is a form of post-translational protein modification with similarities to phosphorylation.
