Hello,
I am learning about cellular respiration, and ATP. I was reading how nitric oxide (NO) can inhibit an important enzyme that is part of the electron transport chain and lead to less ATP production. That seems to give a bad rap to NO. But I also read how good NO is for longevity and blood circulation...
Does anyone have some clarifications to offer on this topic? Is NO good or bad? It seems bad if it affects ATP production. I am confused.
Thank you!
