Description

4-Nitrosophenol is a reactive molecule that is able to bind to metal ions and form complexes. It has the ability to react with other molecules, including hydrochloric acid and nitrite ion, which can lead to the formation of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide has been shown to have genotoxic activity when it reacts with DNA. 4-Nitrosophenol also interferes with protein synthesis by binding to the ribosomal enzyme, eEF2 kinase. This binding leads to a decrease in the rate of protein synthesis and an increase in the rate of protein degradation. The biological treatment of 4-nitrosophenol involves aerobic oxidation followed by reduction by glutathione reductase. The reaction solution is then neutralized by adding sodium hydroxide. This process results in nitrite ions that are subsequently converted into nitrogen gas during transfer reactions involving amino acids and peptides. 4-Nitrosophenol binds non-specifically to receptors, such as acet
