Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
NADH conversion of the enzyme to a reduced inactive form, by preincubation with NADH, in absence of nitrate, occurs in presence of either dithiothreitol and/or FAD but not with cysteine. Pretreatment with NADH alone does not inactivate, a nucleophilic agent, i.e. cyanide or superoxide is necessary to inhibit electron transfer by the enzyme to nitrate Triticum aestivum
