Abstract
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity is found both in soluble and in particulate fractions of the carp brain. The K m values for arginine are 2.8±0.5 and 3.3±0.4 μM for the soluble and particulate fractions, respectively. K i for N G-monomethyl- l-arginine inhibitor are 2.6±0.5 and 2.9±0.6 μM, and activation energy for the breakdown of the substrate-enzyme complex 8120±710 and 4620±450 cal per mole. Carp enzyme shows higher affinity than rat NOS for Ca 2+ and for the competitive inhibitor 7-nitroindazole.
