abstract：:Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a ubiquitous pteridine metabolite that serves as a NOS cofactor. Recently, we showed that BH4 efficiently inhibits superoxide generation from the heme group at the oxygenase domain of eNOS. This role indicates that BH4 acts as a redox switch in the catalytic mechanism of the enzyme, which ...
