Nitric oxide myoglobin: Crystal structure and analysis of ligand geometry

Abstract: The structure of the ferrous nitric oxide form of native sperm whale myoglobin has been determined by X-ray crystallography to 1.7 angstroms resolution. The nitric oxide ligand is bent with respect to the heme plane: the Fe-N-O angle is 112 degrees. This angle is smaller than those observed in model compounds and in lupin leghemoglobin. The exact angle appears to be influenced by the strength of the proximal bond and hydrogen bonding interactions between the distal histidine and the bound ligand. Specifically,… Show more

“…Crystallographic investigations on ferrous Mb-NO57 in fact implicate the presence of a hydrogen bond between the distal His and NO, but the strength of this interaction, and correspondingly, its effect on the properties of the bound NO are not clear. Vibrational spectroscopy is a great method to gain further insight into this issue, since metal-NO stretching frequencies are very sensitive reporters of changes in the metal-NO bond as described above.…”

“…18). In Mb, unlike NIR, the N δ H of the distal histidine is closer to N NO than to O NO [143-145]. The νFeN/νNO point for wild-type Mb falls far from the backbonding line, but when the distal histidine is replaced by a weaker H-bonding residue, glutamine (H64Q), the point moves toward the line, along the positive correlation, and when it is replaced by hydrophobic residues (H64V,I,A) the point falls close to the backbonding line.…”

“…[3335] They all show distinctly shorter distances from the nearest N atom of the distal histidine to N NO than to O NO (Table 1). Interestingly, two of the reported Fe-N-O angles, 121° [35] and 112° [34] are much smaller than the other two, 147° [33] and 144°[35], and they are associated with significantly shorter (His64)N ··· N NO distances. This trend is as expected from the DFT computations.…”
