Abstract excerpt
Crystal structures of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) isoforms have shown the presence of a strongly conserved heme active-site residue, Tyr588 (numbering for rat neuronal NOS, nNOS). Preliminary biochemical studies have highlighted its importance in the binding and oxidation to NO of natural substrates L-Arg and N(omega)-hydroxy-L-arginine (NOHA) and suggested its involvement in mechanism. We have used UV-visible...
