Abstract

The NO + Fe2+ + thiols system in an aqueous solution has been found earlier to exhibit temporal oscillatory changes in the concentration of paramagnetic dinitrosyl iron complexes with thiol-containing ligands and S-nitrosothiols, as well as in the concentration of free iron (not included in the complexes). It is proposed that autowaves can appear in this system characterized by periodic changes in the concentrations of its components in time and space. Such changes may form a basis for the control of the physiological effects of nitric oxide, dinitrosyl iron complexes, and S-nitrosothiols as agents affecting various cellular and tissue targets.
