A survey of the data in the [[Protein Data Bank]] revealed that the NOS bond likely exists "in diverse protein families across all domains of life (including ''Homo sapiens'') and that it is often located at catalytic or regulatory hotspots."<ref name="wensien2021" /> Because the NOS bond was unknown before 2021, it could easily have been overlooked in earlier interpretations of [[electron density maps]].<ref name="wensien2021" /> | A survey of the data in the [[Protein Data Bank]] revealed that the NOS bond likely exists "in diverse protein families across all domains of life (including ''Homo sapiens'') and that it is often located at catalytic or regulatory hotspots."<ref name="wensien2021" /> Because the NOS bond was unknown before 2021, it could easily have been overlooked in earlier interpretations of [[electron density maps]].<ref name="wensien2021" /> Three examples are given illustrating putative NOS bonds in active sites of enzymes which, if correct, were previously overlooked: | ||
