We have applied (57)Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to identify protein-bound dinitrosyl iron complexes. Intense NRVS peaks due to vibrations of the N-Fe-N unit can be observed between 500 and 700 cm(-1) and are diagnostic indicators of the type of iron dinitrosyl species present. NRVS spectra for four iron dinitrosyl model compounds are presented and used as benchmarks for the identification of species formed in the reaction of Pyrococcus furiosus ferredoxin D14C with nitric oxide.

Through nitrosylation of [Fe-S] proteins, or the chelatable iron pool, a dinitrosyl iron unit (DNIU) [Fe(NO)] embedded in the form of low-molecular-weight/protein-bound dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) was discovered as a metallocofactor assembled under inflammatory conditions with elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (O). In an attempt to gain biomimetic insights into the unexplored transformations of the DNIU under inflammation, we investigated the reactivity toward O by a series of DNICs [(NO)Fe(μ-Pyr)Fe(NO)] () and [(NO)Fe(μ-SEt)Fe(NO)] (). During the superoxide-induced conversion of DNIC into DNIC [(K-18-crown-6-ether)(NO)][Fe(μ-Pyr)(μ-O)(Fe(NO))] () and a [Fe(Pyr)(NO)(O)] adduct, stoichiometric NO monooxygenation yielding NO occurs without the transient formation of peroxynitrite-derived OH/NO species.

Craniofacial/jawbone deformities remain a significant clinical challenge in restoring facial/dental functions and esthetics. Despite the reported therapeutics for clinical bone tissue regeneration, the bioavailability issue of autografts and limited regeneration efficacy of xenografts/synthetic bone substitutes, however, inspire continued efforts towards functional conjugation and improvement of bioactive bone graft materials. Regarding the potential of nitric oxide (NO) in tissue engineering, herein, functional conjugation of NO-delivery dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) and osteoconductive bone graft materials was performed to optimize the spatiotemporal control over the delivery of NO and to activate synergistic osteogenesis and angiogenesis in rat calvaria bone defects.

Placental nitric oxide (NO) is critical for maintaining perfusion in the maternal-fetal-placental circulation during normal pregnancy. NO and its many metabolites are also increased in pregnancies complicated by maternal inflammation such as preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, gestational diabetes, and bacterial infection. However, it is unclear how increased levels of NO or its metabolites affect placental function or how the placenta deals with excessive levels of NO or its metabolites.

After the discovery of endogenous dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) as a potential biological equivalent of nitric oxide (NO), bioinorganic engineering of [Fe(NO)] unit has emerged to develop biomimetic DNICs [(NO)Fe(L)] as a chemical biology tool for controlled delivery of NO. For example, water-soluble DNIC [Fe(μ-SCHCHOH)(NO)] () was explored for oral delivery of NO to the brain and for the activation of hippocampal neurogenesis. However, the kinetics and mechanism for cellular uptake and intracellular release of NO, as well as the biocompatibility of synthetic DNICs, remain elusive.

The persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a major problem in managing tuberculosis (TB). Host-generated nitric oxide (NO) is perceived as one of the signals by Mtb to reprogram metabolism and respiration for persistence. However, the mechanisms involved in NO sensing and reorganizing Mtb's physiology are not fully understood.
