Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized from L-arginine by at least three isoforms of NO synthase enzyme (NOS). Once generated NO can interact with a number of molecular targets including haem proteins, enzymes, DNA, thiols, oxygen and superoxide. These reactions determine the profile of NO as a major biological mediator, modulator and effector molecule.Entities:
