Brain nitric oxide (NO) synthase showed pyridine haemochrome spectra typical of ferroprotoporphyrin IX-containing enzymes. The haem content of purified NO synthase was in the range 0.7-0.9 mol/mol of 160 kDa subunit. In the presence of CO, NO, KCN and miconazole, the L-citrulline-forming activity of NO synthase was markedly diminished, demonstrating that enzyme-bound haem is involved in enzymic NO synthesis.
脑一氧化氮(NO)合酶呈现出含亚铁原卟啉IX的酶所特有的吡啶血红素光谱。纯化的NO合酶的血红素含量在每摩尔160 kDa亚基含0.7 - 0.9摩尔的范围内。在一氧化碳、一氧化氮、氰化钾和咪康唑存在的情况下,NO合酶的生成L - 瓜氨酸的活性显著降低,表明酶结合的血红素参与了酶促NO合成。
