Neurodegenerative conditions are characterised by a progressive loss of neurons, which is believed to be initiated by misfolded protein aggregations. During this time period, many physiological and metabolomic alterations and changes in gene expressi...

Nitric oxide (NO) regulates neuronal function and thus is critical for tuning neuronal communication. Mechanisms by which NO modulates protein function and interaction include posttranslational modifications (PTMs) such as S-nitrosylation. Importantl...
