The S1176D mutation contains an aspartate in place of the serine, with a carboxyl side group that mimics a negatively charged phosphate group (constitutively active, high NO production), and the S1176A mutation contains an alanine in place of the serine, so it cannot be phosphorylated (not activatable, low NO production).
