Disease
[ARGI1_HUMAN] Defects in ARG1 are the cause of argininemia (ARGIN) [MIM:207800]; also known as hyperargininemia. Argininemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the urea cycle. Arginine is elevated in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and periodic hyperammonemia occurs. Clinical manifestations include developmental delay, seizures, mental retardation, hypotonia, ataxia, progressive spastic quadriplegia.[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The binding affinity of (S)-2-amino-6-nitrohexanoic acid to human arginase I was studied using surface plasmon resonance (K(d) = 60 microM), and the X-ray crystal structure of the enzyme-inhibitor complex was determined at 1.6 A resolution to reveal multiple nitro-metal coordination interactions.
(S)-2-amino-6-nitrohexanoic acid binds to human arginase I through multiple nitro-metal coordination interactions in the binuclear manganese cluster.,Zakharian TY, Di Costanzo L, Christianson DW J Am Chem Soc. 2008 Dec 24;130(51):17254-5. PMID:19032027[3]
