Communication between the Zinc and Tetrahydrobiopterin Binding Sites in Nitric Oxide Synthase

[Image: see text] The nitric oxide synthase (NOS) dimer is stabilized by a Zn(2+) ion coordinated to four symmetry-related Cys residues exactly along the dimer 2-fold axis. Each of the two essential tetrahydrobiopterin (H(4)B) molecules in the dimer interacts directly with the heme, and each H(4)B m...
