Abstract

Isolating elemental steps that comprise a protein reaction in solution is a difficult process. In this study, the use of sugar-derived glass matrices is evaluated as a biophysical tool to help dissect out elemental steps and isolate intermediates. Two features of the glass are utilized in this endeavor: (i) the capacity of trehalose glass matrices to support thermal reduction over macroscopic distances; and (ii) the ability of glass matrices to significantly damp large amplitude protein dynamics. The focus of the study is on the reaction of nitric oxide (NO) with a nitrite ion coordinated to the heme iron of hemoglobin (Hb). The thermal reduction property of the glass is used to generate NO from nitrite within the glass, and the damping of protein dynamics is used to control entry of NO into the distal heme pocket of Hb, where it can either interact with bound nitrite or bind to the heme iron. The results not only relate to earlier controversial studies addressing the reactions of Hb with NO and nitrite but also raise the prospect that these properties of sugar-derived glassy matrices can be exploited as a new biophysical tool to modulate and probe reactions of NO with hemeproteins as well as a wide range of other metalloproteins.

  • Several proposed mechanisms explain how nitrite-derived bioactivity can be exported from the red blood cell, generally involving either a compartment model with submembrane localization or formation of another nitrogen oxide such as a nitrosothiol or N2O3.

    “Several proposed mechanisms have been constructed to explain how nitrite-derived bioactivity can be exported from the red blood cell and these generally involve either a compartment model with submembrane localization of the reaction allowing for inefficient free NO escape, or the formation of another nitrogen oxide such as a nitrosothiol or N2O3 that can get out of the red blood cell and carry NO”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
