Abstract
The regulation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) employs multiple different cellular control mechanisms impinging on level and activity of the enzyme. This review aims at summarizing the current knowledge on the posttranslational modifications of eNOS, including acylation, nitrosylation, phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation and glutathionylation. Sites, mediators and impact on enzyme localization and activity of the single modifications will be discussed. Moreover, interdependence, cooperativity and competition between the different posttranslational modifications will be elaborated with special emphasis on the susceptibility of eNOS to metabolic cues.
Keywords: Endothelial NO synthase, regulation of enzyme activity, posttranslational modification.

"Multidisciplinary Pharmaceutical Drug Design Strategies in the Progress of Drug Discovery"
The process of developing a drug is time and money-consuming, but also fascinating. The development of numerous computational techniques, synthetic methodologies, formulation-based drug discovery, etc., has improved the drug discovery process. The process of developing new drugs is significantly hampered by drug-poor pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic problems. To address these challenges, ...read more
