EPR Studies of the Chemical Dynamics of NO and Hemoglobin Interactions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
High Resolution EPR

Part of the book series: Biological Magnetic Resonance ((BIMR,volume 28))

The field of NO biology began two decades ago with the identification of nitric oxide, NO, as the endothelium-derived vascular relaxing factor (EDRF) discovered by Furchgott [1]. Since then, the scope of the field has dramatically expanded to view the NO moiety as a ubiquitous signaling agent [2] that can modulate effector function through a variety of chemistries, most prevalently reactions with oxygen, thiols, and metal centers [3]. The seminal work of identifying EDRF with nitric oxide (NO) was based in significant part on such chemistry, specifically the reaction with oxygen or metal centers in hemoglobin (Hb); these reactions had the same inactivating effect on both NO and EDRF [4].
