We discovered that eNOS phosphorylation does not necessarily lead to enzyme activation.  For many years, we and many others had used eNOS phosphorylation as a surrogate for enzyme activation.  Using the hydrogen peroxide biosensor HyPer, we discovered a marked discordance between eNOS phosphorylation and increased NO generation in cultured endothelial cells.  See:
