Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) binds to the myoglobin (Mb) cavity mutant, H93G, forming either a five- or six-coordinate Fe-NO complex. The H93G mutation eliminates the covalent attachment between the protein and the proximal ligand, allowing NO to bind H93G possibly from the proximal side of the heme rather than the typical diatomic binding pocket on the distal side. The question of whether NO binds on the distal or proximal...
