Role of myoglobin as a scavenger of cellular NO in myocardium.
Recent studies have detected a (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) reporter signal of metmyoglobin (metMb) during bradykinin stimulation of an isolated mouse heart. The observation has led to the hypothesis that Mb reacts with cellular nitric oxide (NO). However, the hypothesis depends on an unequivocal detection of metMb signals in vivo. In solution, nitrite oxidization of Mb produces a char...
متن کاملMechanism of NO-induced oxidation of myoglobin and hemoglobin.
Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated as mediator in a variety of physiological functions, including neurotransmission, platelet aggregation, macrophage function, and vasodilation. The consumption of NO by extracellular hemoglobin and subsequent vasoconstriction have been suggested to be the cause of the mild hypertensive events reported during in vivo trials of hemoglobin-based O2 carriers. Th...
متن کاملStructural Interpretation of Metastable States in Myoglobin-NO.
Nitric oxide binding and unbinding from myoglobin (Mb) is central to the function of the protein. By using reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, the dynamics following NO dissociation were characterized in both time and space. Ligand rebinding can be described by two processes on the 10 ps and 100 ps timescale, which agrees with recent optical and X-ray absorption experiments. Explicitl...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of NO recombination to myoglobin mutants.
Molecular dynamics simulations on two coupled electronic surfaces are employed to investigate the geminate recombination of nitric oxide to mutants of sperm whale myoglobin. A model for the ground and the excited states is constructed based on experimental data. The crossing between the surfaces is treated using the Landau-Zener formula. The reaction probability and the recombination curves are...

رابطه ی میانِ هنر و شرایطِ اجتماعیِ زایش آن همواره در طولِ تاریخ دغدغه ی ذهنی و دل مشغولیِ اساسیِ منتقدان و نیز هنرمندان بوده است. از آنجا که هنر در قفس آهنیِ زندگیِ اجتماعی محبوس است، گسترش وابستگیِ آن با نهاد ها و اصولِ اجتماعی پیرامون، صرفِ نظر از هم سو بودن و یا غیرِ هم سو بودنِ آن نهاد ها، امری اجتناب ناپذیر به نظر می رسد. با این وجود پدیدار گشتنِ چنین مباحثِ حائز اهمییتی در میان منتقدین، با ظهورِ مکتب ما...
