L-<wbr></wbr>Arginine serves as a common substrate for both nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and arginase in the cell. NOS catalyzes the oxidation of arginine to citrulline and NO with N It exhibits K<sub>m</sub> and kcat values of 0.5 mM and 18,000 min The thiol product of the reaction reacts with DTNB to produce 2-<wbr></wbr>nitro-<wbr></wbr>5-<wbr></wbr>thiobenzoate for easy visualization at 405-<wbr></wbr>420 nm.
