Nitric oxide synthases consume L-arginine and molecular oxygen to form the free radical nitric oxide, which acts as a signaling molecule in a wide range of molecular and biological processes.<ref>Hou, YC; Janczuk, A; Wang, PG (1999). "Current trends in the development of nitric oxide donors". Current pharmaceutical design 5 (6): 417–41.</ref> The reaction catalyzed by nitric oxide synthase is shown below.<ref>Knowles RG, Moncada S (March 1994). "Nitric oxide synthases in mammals".
