Recent studies have demonstrated the biological importance of the interaction of nitric oxide with proteins such as cytochrome-c or hemoglobin. In particular, the possibility that the nitrosonium cation, NO(+), could reversibly bind to sulfide atom type was proposed. At pH values of biological relevance, nitrosation was proposed to occur through the action of NO(+) carriers such as nitrosothiols or nitrosamines. In this context, the gas phase chemistry of protonated nitrosothiols is studied in the present work by a combination of mass spectrometry and computational methods.
