Abstract excerpt
Intraprotein interdomain electron transfer (IET) between the flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and heme centers is an obligatory step in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes. An isoform-specific pivotal region near Leu406 in the heme domain of human inducible NOS (iNOS) was proposed to mediate the FMN-heme domain-domain alignment (J Inorg Biochem 153:186-196, 2015). The FMN-heme IET rate is a measure of the interdomain...
