Abstract

Nitrosyl iron complexes have been studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) since 1965. However no connection was made between EPR observations of nitrosyl complexes found in vivo and biosynthesis of nitric oxide until the latter had been independently discovered by biochemists and pharmacologists. The aim of this chapter is to provide an introduction to the basic chemistry and biology of nitric oxide with particular emphasis on EPR experiments and their interpretation.
