Table 2. Fate of the H4B radical following its formation in the Arg hydroxylation reaction.

The percentage of oxidized (H2B) or reduced (H4B) cofactor that was present in each NOS enzyme at the end of their Arg hydroxylation reaction was determined. Values represent the mean ± S.D. of at least three independent measurements of each enzyme. WT, wild-type.

Enzyme Conditions % of H4B % of H2B
WT nNOS Without CaM 15 ± 2 82 ± 4
WT nNOS +WT CaM 65 ± 9 32 ± 6
WT nNOS +E47A CaM 40 ± 6 55 ± 9
K423E nNOS + WT CaM 20 ± 5 76 ± 2
Δ2-R1400E_K452N nNOS + WT CaM 97 ± 6 5 ± 2
E762R/E816R/E819R nNOS + WT CaM 18 ± 8 78 ± 8
