Abstract

Thin film direct electrochemistry shows that the oxygenase domain of neuronal nitric oxide synthase undergoes reversible electron transfer with an underlying electrode. The midpotential of the FeIII/FeII couple is found to be modulated by both the binding of the tetrahydropterin cofactor and the pH of the buffer medium.
