Tetrahydrobiopterin Redox Cycling in Nitric-oxide Synthase: Evidence Supports a Through-Heme Electron Delivery

The NO synthases (NOS) catalyze a two-step oxidation of L-Arginine (Arg) to generate NO. In the first step, O(2) activation involves one electron being provided to the heme by an enzyme-bound 6R-tetrahydro-L-biopterin cofactor (H(4)B), which then forms a H(4)B radical that must be reduced back to H(...
