title: Spin trapping of nitric oxide with the iron-dithiocarbamate complex: chemistry and biology.
abstract: This brief review describes chemical and biological aspects concerning spin trapping of nitric oxide (NO) with the iron-dithiocarbamate (Fe-DTC) complex as a spin trap. Knowledge on basic properties of the Fe-DTC complex would help in understanding the applicability and limitation of the Fe-DTC-based NO spin-trapping method when it is employed in viable biological systems.
