cGMP-dependent protein kinases and cGMP phosphodiesterases in nitric oxide and cGMP action

SH Francis, JL Busch, JD Corbin, D Sibley - Pharmacological reviews, 2010 - Elsevier
To date, studies suggest that biological signaling by nitric oxide (NO) is primarily mediated
by cGMP, which is synthesized by NO-activated guanylyl cyclases and broken down by …

Structure and regulation of soluble guanylate cyclase

ER Derbyshire, MA Marletta - Annual review of biochemistry, 2012 - annualreviews.org
