“In this chemical redox reaction, NO [possibly in the form of nitrosonium cation (NO+)] reacts with cysteine thiol [or, more precisely, thiolate anion (R-S−, where R is a protein)].”

“Under ambient air conditions, NO inhibits NMDAR activity by reacting with the NR2A subunit C399 along with two additional cysteine pairs if their disulfide bonds are reduced to free thiol groups [NR1(C744,C798); NR2(C87,C320)].”

“These results demonstrate for the first time that NO nitrosylates active site cysteines of complex IV, which is associated with persistent inhibition of complex IV.”

“Incubation of these nitric oxide donor-nucleoside conjugates in the presence of 18 mM L-cysteine released a high percentage of *NO (21-48% at 1 h; 37-86% at 16 h).”
