Identification of receptor binding and activation sites in endothelin-1 by use of site-directed mutagenesis.

abstract：:Reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species are biological molecules that play important roles in cardiovascular physiology and contribute to disease initiation, progression, and severity. Because of their ephemeral nature and rapid reactivity, these species are difficult to measure directly with high accura...
