Reactions of oxymyoglobin with NO, NO2, and NO2- under argon and in air

Chemical Research in Toxicology

Abstract

Oxymyoglobin under argon reacts with NO2- and NO2 (N2O4) to produce metmyoglobin in a spectrally clean process with clear isosbestic points. In both cases, the reactant is NO2-. The second-order rate constant for NO2- or N2O4 is the same: d(Mb+)/dt = k(MbO2)(NO2-) where k = 0.21 +/- 0.02 L mol-1 S-1. The reaction of MbO2 with NO under argon is a complex process and entails the generation of Mb+ and OONO- (peroxynitrite) in the first step. The latter (lambda MAX, 302 nm) was poorly resolved from more intense protein absorption in the 300-nm region. However, at pH 9, the change in absorbance corresponded exactly to a quantitative production of the OONO-ion. Hydroxy radicals from it were trapped with ethylene-1, 2-(13) C. The initial step is followed in sequence by the rapid formation of MbNO+. The iron(III)-nitrosyl adduct hydrolyzes slowly to MbII and NO2- (k = 8.0 +/- 0.8 x 10(-5) S-1. MbII then rapidly associates with NO, and MbNO is the final product of this reaction. Oxymyoglobin is inert to NO3-. In contrast to the results under argon, in air the reactions of MbO2 with NO2-, NO, and NO2 (N2O4) all proceed in the same autocatalytic fashion with kAVE (for the autocatalytic rates) approximately equal to 9 +/- 5 L mol-1 s-1.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
