Distal Val346Ile mutation in inducible NO synthase promotes substrate-dependent NO confinement.

Abstract excerpt

The function of inducible NO synthase (WT iNOS) depends on the release of NO from the ferric heme before the enzyme is reduced. Key parameters controlling ligand dynamics include the distal and proximal heme pocket amino acids, as well as the inner solvent molecules. In this work, we tested how a point mutation in the distal heme side of WT iNOS affected the geminate rebinding of NO by ultrafast kinetics and...
