Tetranitromethane (TNM) reacts with tyrosyl residues in proteins to give 3-nitrotyrosine derivatives. Nitrating tyrosyl residues in rat liver microsomal stearyl coenzyme A desaturase with TNM leads to inactivation with concomitant loss of the iron prosthetic group (29). TNM also is known to react with sulfhydryls in proteins and, under certain conditions, with tryptophan, histidine, and methionine (30).
