A perspective on conformational control of electron transfer in nitric oxide synthases

Tobias Hedison, Sam Hay, Nigel Scrutton

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    This perspective reviews single molecule and ensemble fluorescence spectroscopy studies of the three tissue specific nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoenzymes and the related diflavin oxidoreductase cytochrome P450 reductase. The focus is on the role of protein dynamics and the protein conformational landscape and we discuss how recent fluorescence-based studies have helped in illustrating how the nature of the NOS conformational landscape relates to enzyme turnover and catalysis.
