In the brain and peripheral nervous system, NO displays many properties of a neurotransmitter. Inhibitory transmitter for non-adrenergic and non-cholinergic nerves in the colorectum. Probably has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such SRR. Inhibitory transmitter for non-adrenergic and non-cholinergic nerves in the colorectum. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Selective inhibition of the neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase NOS (nNOS) has been shown to prevent brain injury and is important for the treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders. However, given the high active site conservation among all three NOS isoforms, the design of selective inhibitors is an extremely challenging problem. Here we present the structural basis for why novel and potent nNOS inhibitors exhibit the highest level of selectivity over eNOS reported so far (approximately 3,800-fold). By using a combination of crystallography, computational methods, and site-directed mutagenesis, we found that inhibitor chirality and an unanticipated structural change of the target enzyme control both the orientation and selectivity of these novel nNOS inhibitors. A new hot spot generated as a result of enzyme elasticity provides important information for the future fragment-based design of selective NOS inhibitors.
