Abstract
Pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase, which reductively liberates ni trite from nitrate esters, is related to old yellow enzyme. Pentaeryth ritol tetranitrate reductase follows a ping-pong mechanism with compet itive substrate inhibition by NADPH, is strongly inhibited by steroids , and is capable of reducing the unsaturated bond of 2-cyclohexen-1-on e.
