NADPH oxidation (min−1) | |
---|---|
nNOSµ | 78.4 ± 0.6 |
nNOSµ + l-Arg | 45.4 ± 5.1 |
nNOSµ + Hsp90α | 86.8 ± 1.1 |
nNOSα | 100.1 ± 0.6 |
nNOSα + l-Arg | 30.9 ± 0.6 |
nNOSα + Hsp90α | 119.8 ± 10.2 |
Initial rates of oxidation of NADPH by nNOS were determined in a pH 7.4 buffer containing 50 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 200 µM CaCl2, and 100 µM NADPH. The final concentrations of nNOS and CaM were 20 nM and 1 µM, respectively. The concentrations of l-Arg and Hsp90 protein in the assay mixture, if added, were 100 µM and 3 µM, respectively.
