Abstract excerpt
Both prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) isoforms utilize a radical at Tyr385 to abstract a hydrogen atom from arachidonic acid, initializing prostaglandin synthesis. A Tyr348-Tyr385 hydrogen bond appears to be conserved in both isoforms; this hydrogen bonding has the potential to modulate the positioning and reactivity of the Tyr385 side chain. The EPR signal from the Tyr385 radical undergoes a time-dependent...
