Enzyme Commission Number
EC 1.14.14.47
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
2 L-arginine + 3 reduced flavodoxin + 4 O2 = 2 L-citrulline + 2 nitric oxide + 3 oxidized flavodoxin + 4 H2O (overall reaction)
(1a) 2 L-arginine + 2 reduced flavodoxin + 2 O2 = 2 Nω-hydroxy-L-arginine + 2 oxidized flavodoxin + 2 H2O
(1b) 2 Nω-hydroxy-L-arginine + reduced flavodoxin + 2 O2 = 2 L-citrulline + 2 nitric oxide + oxidized flavodoxin + 2 H2O
Systematic Name
L-arginine,reduced-flavodoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (nitric-oxide-forming)
Function
Binds heme (iron protoporphyrin IX) and tetrahydrobiopterin. The enzyme, found in bacteria and archaea, consist of only an oxygenase domain and functions together with bacterial ferredoxins or flavodoxins. The orthologous enzymes from plants and animals also contain a reductase domain and use only NADPH as the electron donor (cf. EC 1.14.13.39).
Other name
nitric oxide synthetase (ambiguous); NO synthase (ambiguous)
Production Methods
Fermentation
Package
on customer request
Applications
Research Use
Storage
Should be stored in a dry and cool place, avoiding high temperature.
Appearance / Form
powder or liquid
Odor
Normal microbial fermentation odour.
WARNINGS
Keep sealed after use every time to avoid microbial infections and inactivation of enzymes until its finish.
Description
Microbial enzymes have been used in a large number of fields, such as chemical, agricultural and biopharmaceutical industries. Our enzyme production services are based on bacteria, fungi, and yeast, from strain selection, optimization, and process development to scale-up production.
