title: A review of approaches to the analysis of 3-nitrotyrosine.
abstract: Our understanding of in vivo tyrosine nitration has been confounded by problems associated with the analytical approaches that have been employed to quantify 3-nitroyrosine (3-NT). Trace analysis is a demanding task under the best of circumstances, but 3-NT offers some special concerns. This review examines some of these concerns and discusses approaches to ensuring that carefully validated analytical data are generated.
