  • GENERATION OF NITRIC OXIDE IN SITU AT SUBSTRATE/BLOOD INTERFACES AND REPRODUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SENSOR FOR DETECTING NITROSOTHIOLS
    Publication number: 20080226686
    Abstract: A material includes a surface and a reactive agent that is located at the surface of the material, covalently attached to a backbone of the material, and/or located within the material. The reactive agent has nitrite reductase activity, nitrate reductase activity, and/or nitrosothiol reductase activity. The reactive agent also converts at least one of nitrites, nitrates and nitrosothiols to nitric oxide when in contact with blood. A reproducible nitrosothiol sensor is also disclosed.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 21, 2007
    Publication date: September 18, 2008
    Inventors: Mark E. Meyerhoff, Melissa M. Reynolds, Bong K. Oh, Wansik Cha, Megan Frost, Sangyeul Hwang, Sylvie Sim, Yiduo Wu
