Abstract excerpt
The neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) requires calmodulin for nitric oxide producing activity. Calmodulin functions as a molecular switch, allowing electron transport from the carboxyl-terminal reductase domain of nitric oxide synthase to its heme-containing amino-terminal domain. Available evidence suggests that calmodulin binds to a site between the two domains of nNOS, but it is not known how...
