Nitric Oxide Synthase: Physiology, Biochemistry, and Mechanism

The video explores nitric oxide synthase, an enzyme related to cytochrome P-450, detailing its structure, function, and mechanism. It highlights the role of tetrahydrobiopterin in stabilizing the enzyme and quenching free radicals. The video explains the electron flow within the enzyme, its self-sufficiency, and the different types of nitric oxide synthase, including inducible, neuronal, and endothelial forms. The mechanism of nitric oxide production from L-arginine is discussed, along with the enzyme's role in various physiological processes.
