Abstract excerpt
Electron transfer within rat neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) was investigated by pulse radiolysis. Radiolytically generated 1-methyl-3-carbamoyl pyridinium (MCP) radical was found to react predominantly with the heme of the enzyme with a second-order rate constant for heme reduction of 3 x 10(8) m(-1) s(-1). In the calmodulin (CaM)-bound enzyme a subsequent first-order phase was observed which had a rate...
