“…The NO molecule will dissociate in cytochrome cd1 nitrite reductases, but is reduced to ammonia in assimilatory nitrite reductases. The reaction of nitrite with metmyoglobin [9] and hemoglobin [10,11] has also been examined. For both proteins, the reaction product was a NO-coordinated protein.…”

“…Recently, two separate four-helix oligopeptides have been synthesized that are able to bind heme with characteristics similar to hemichrome hemoglobins (Choma et al, 1994). Invertebrate and vertebrate hemoglobins can form hemichrome hemoglobins by a similar mechanism (Spagnuolo, Rinelli, Coletta, Chiancone & Ascoli, 1987) using reducing agents such as nitrite (Spagnuolo et al, 1988). Hemichrome formation in human red blood cells can be the result of abnormalities in the ratio of ot and/3 chains or in the enzyme systems that protect hemoglobins against oxidation (Dacie et al, 1964).…”
