Reaction of superoxide radicals with glycosaminoglycan chloramides: a kinetic study. [PDF]

, 2013
Hypochlorous acid and its acid-base counterpart, hypochlorite ions, produced under inflammatory conditions, may produce chloramides of glycosaminoglycans, perhaps through the binding of myeloperoxidase directly to the glycosaminoglycans.
