Ce. French et al., SEQUENCE AND PROPERTIES OF PENTAERYTHRITOL TETRANITRATE REDUCTASE FROM ENTEROBACTER-CLOACAE PB2, Journal of bacteriology, 178(22), 1996, pp. 6623-6627
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
