2 L-arginine + 3 NADPH + 3 H+ + 4 O2 | NOS catalyzes the formation of NO via a consecutive two-step reaction. In the first step, L-arginine is converted to N-hydroxy-L-arginine, in the second step, N-hydroxy-L-arginine is further converted to citrulline and nitric oxide, two different mechanisms, overview. During catalysis, mediated by calcium/calmodulin, electrons flow from NADPH through FAD and FMN in the reductase domain of one subunit of the homodimer to the oxygenase domain of the other subunit, substrate-ligand interaction in the Fe2+-O2 complex, overview | Mus musculus | 2 citrulline + 2 nitric oxide + 3 NADP+ + 4 H2O | - |
