It is now well-established that mammalian heme proteins are reactive with various nitrogen oxide species and these reactions may play significant roles in physiology. For example, the ferrous protein myoglobin (Mb) has been shown to reduce nitrite (NO2−) nitric (NO) under hypoxic conditions. We demonstrate here distal pocket histidine residue (His64) of horse heart metMbIII (i.e., ferric MbIII) marked effects on mode ion coordination iron center. X-ray crystal structures were determined for...
The nitrite anion is known to oxidize and degrade hemoglobin (Hb). Recent literature reports suggest a reductase activity for Hb, converting into nitric oxide. Surprisingly, no structural information about Hb−nitrite interactions has been reported. We have determined the crystal structure of ferric complex at 1.80 Å resolution. ligand adopts uncommon O-nitrito binding mode. In addition, nitrito conformations in α β subunits are different, reflecting subtle effects distal His orienting
Nitric oxide (NO) and its derivatives such as nitrite hyponitrite are biologically important species of relevance to human health. Much their physiological stems from interactions with the iron centers in heme proteins. The chemical reactivities displayed by heme−NOx (NOx = NO, nitrite, hyponitrite) a function binding modes NOx ligands. Hence, an understanding types extant compounds is if we unravel inherent properties these metabolites. In this Forum Article, experimentally characterized...
Heme-HNO species are crucial intermediates in several biological processes. To date, no well-defined Fe heme-HNO model compounds have been reported. Hydride attack on the cationic ferric [(OEP)Fe(NO)(5-MeIm)]OTf (OEP = octaethylporphyrinato dianion) generates an Fe-HNO product that has characterized by IR and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Results of DFT calculations reveal a direct hydride N atom coordinated nitrosyl.
The six-coordinate nitrosyl σ-bonded aryl(iron) and -(ruthenium) porphyrin complexes (OEP)Fe(NO)(p-C6H4F) (OEP)Ru(NO)(p-C6H4F) (OEP = octaethylporphyrinato dianion) have been synthesized characterized. Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations reveal an unprecedented bending tilting of the MNO group for both {MNO}6 species as well significant lengthening trans axial bond distances. In Fe−N−O angle is 157.4(2)°, nitrogen atom tilted off normal to heme plane by 9.2°, Fe−N(NO) 1.728(2) Å,...
A critical component of the biological activity NO and nitrite involves their coordination to iron center in heme proteins. Irradiation (330 < λ 500 nm) nitrosyl−nitro compound (TPP)Fe(NO)(NO2) (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrinato dianion) at 11 K results changes IR spectrum associated with both nitro-to-nitrito nitrosyl-to-isonitrosyl linkage isomerism. Only isomer is obtained 200 K, indicating that isonitrosyl less stable than nitrito isomer. DFT calculations reveal two ground-state...
The coupling of two nitric oxide (NO) molecules in heme active sites is an important contributor to the conversion NO nitrous (N2O) by heme-containing enzymes. Several formulations for presumed heme-Fe{N2O2}n- intermediates have been proposed previously, however, no crystal structures systems reported date. We report first isolation and characterization a stable bimetallic hyponitrite iron porphyrin, [(OEP)Fe]2(μ-N2O2), prepared from reaction [(OEP)Fe]2(μ-O) with hyponitrous acid. Density...
Exposure of a single crystal the nitrite adduct ferric myoglobin (Mb) at 100 K to high-intensity synchrotron X-ray radiation resulted in changes UV−vis spectrum that can be attributed reduction compound ferrous derivative. We employed correlated single-crystal spectroscopy with crystallography further characterize this photoproduct. The 1.55 Å resolution structure photoproduct reveals retention O-binding mode for binding iron center. data are consistent cryogenic generation and trapping, K,...
The detoxification of nitric oxide (NO) by bacterial NO reductase (NorBC) represents a paradigm how can be detoxified anaerobically in cells. In order to elucidate the mechanism this enzyme, model complexes provide convenient means assess potential reaction intermediates. particular, there have been many proposed mechanisms that invoke formation hyponitrite bridge between heme b3 and nonheme iron (FeB) centers within NorBC active site. However, reactivity bridged has not investigated much...

Bacterial NO reductase (bacNOR) enzymes utilize a heme/non-heme active site to couple two molecules N2O. We show that BF3 coordination the nitrosyl O-atom in (OEP)Fe(NO) activates it toward N–N bond formation with generate 15N-isotopic labeling reveals reversible exchange reaction and follow-up N–O cleavage N2O step. Other Lewis acids (B(C6F5)3 K+) also promote coupling (OEP)Fe(NO). These results, complemented by DFT calculations, provide experimental support for cis:b3 pathway bacNOR.
