Oxidation of L-arginine to citrulline and nitrate induced by photoexcitation of an iron-porphyrin cysteinate complex

摘要

The conversion of L-arginine to citrulline together with the oxidation of L-cysteine to cysteine sulphinate are obtained by irradiation with near UV light of an iron-porphyrin in aqueous solution in the presence of L-cysteine which appears to be necessary for the process to occur; the NO3- detection indicates that NO is formed and allows one to conclude that the reaction reserved.
