The <scene name='Sandbox_5/Nos_oxygenase_med_cofaktore/3'>oxygenase domain</scene> contains the active site of the enzyme. The active site binds the substrate L-<scene name='Sandbox_5/Nos_oxygenase_arg/2'>Arginine</scene> ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arginine Arginine]) and is converted into citruline and NO (explained in details below). The domain has three cofactors bound:
