| Abstract | Resonance Raman studies have uncovered puzzling complexities in the structures of NO adducts of heme proteins. Although CO adducts of heme proteins obey well-behaved anti-correlations between Fe–C and C–O stretching frequencies, which reflect changes in backbonding induced by distal H-bonding residues, the corresponding NO data are scattered. This scatter can be traced to distal influences, since protein-free NO–hemes do show well-behaved anti-correlations. Why do distal effects produce irregularities in νFeN/νNO plots but not in νFeC/νCO plots? We show via density functional theory (DFT) computations on model systems that the response to distal H-bonding differs markedly when the NO acceptor atom is N versus O. Backbonding is augmented by H-bonding to O, but the effect of H-bonding to N is to weaken both N–O and N–Fe bonds. The resulting downward deviation from the νFeN/νNO backbonding line increases with increasing H-bond strength. This effect explains the deviations observed for a series of myoglobin variants, in which the strength of distal H-bonding is modulated by distal pocket residue substitutions. Most of the data follow a positive νFeN/νNO correlation with the same slope as that calculated for H-bonding to N. Such deviations are not observed for CO adducts, because the CO π* orbital is unoccupied, and serves as a delocalized acceptor of H-bonds. H-bonding to N primes NO–heme for reduction to the HNO adduct, a putative intermediate in NO-reducing enzymes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
