Abstract
Intense interest in the action and synthesis of nitric oxide has fuelled structural studies of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). The monomeric and dimeric heme domains of inducible NOS were the first NOS structures to be described. A recent independent analysis of the corresponding heme domains from endothelial NOS confirms most of the features found earlier and also reveals a novel Zn(Cys)4 center – a new feature for NOS.
