The degradative action of peroxynitrite on high-molecular-weight hyaluronan.

OBJECTIVES: This contribution presents the results of the kinetics of HA degradation by peroxynitrite, which represents one of the main reactive oxygen species degrading various biomacromolecules under inflammatory conditions.

METHODS: Two simple procedures have been adapted to prepare sodium peroxynitrite: the f.....
