Nitric Oxide Synthase: Difference between revisions

Line 46: Line 46:
The active site is highly conserved in the different NOS species. Thus it is possible to discuss substrate binding i general terms. The NOS enzyme binds its substrate by hydrogen bindings both to the guanidino[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanidino] end and the amino acid end (EVT FIG!).
