From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saville reaction is a chemical reaction in which mercury replaces a nitrosyl from a thiol group.

It is used as a method of replacing the nitrosyl from the modified cysteines and thus can serve in research of the redox modification of different proteins.[1]
