Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
Calmodulin activates O2 consumption of eNOS Rattus norvegicus
L-arginine L-arginine strongly stimulates oxygen consumption of eNOS and inhibits that of nNOS, nonhydrolyzable L-arginine analogues are not stimulatory Rattus norvegicus

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
expression of eNOS in Escherichia coli Rattus norvegicus

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin quenches the uncoupled reactions and results in much less reactive oxygen species formation, whereas the presence of redox-incompetent 7,8-dihydrobiopterin demonstrates little quenching effect Rattus norvegicus
L-arginine L-arginine strongly stimulates oxygen consumption of eNOS and inhibits that of nNOS Rattus norvegicus

Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
