Abstract excerpt
In neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS), calmodulin (CaM) binding is thought to trigger electron transfer from the reductase domain to the heme domain, which is essential for O(2) activation and NO formation. To elucidate the electron-transfer mechanism, we characterized a series of heterodimers consisting of one full-length nNOS subunit and one oxygenase-domain subunit. The results support an inter-subunit...
