Product Introduction

Description
Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless toxic gas that is formed by the oxidation of nitrogen . It performs important chemical signaling functions in humans and other animals and has various applications in medicine . It is a serious air pollutant generated by automotive engines and thermal power plants .

Synthesis Analysis

NO is synthesized from arginine and O2 by NO synthase (NOS). Citrulline formed as a by-product of the NOS reaction can be recycled to arginine by argininosuccinate synthetase (AS) and argininosuccinate lyase (AL) . Intracellular arginine availability is a rate-limiting factor in cellular NO production .

Molecular Structure Analysis

NO is a relatively unstable, diatomic molecule that possesses a free radical (i.e., an unpaired electron). The molecule can gain or lose one electron to form the ions NO− or NO+ .

Chemical Reactions Analysis

NO is a reactive molecule that can undergo various chemical reactions. It reacts rapidly with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide, NO2 . It is also an intermediate compound formed during the oxidation of ammonia to nitric acid .

Physical And Chemical Properties Analysis

NO is a small, uncharged molecule that contains an unpaired electron, making it highly reactive . It is almost insoluble in water, but it dissolves rapidly in a slightly alkaline solution of sodium sulfite .
