title: Kinetics and thermodynamics of the reaction of deoxyhemerythrin with nitric oxide.
abstract: Deoxyhemerythrin reacts with NO to form a 1:1 adduct shown spectrophotometrically. The kinetics of the formation have been studied directly by stopped-flow measurements at four different temperatures (0.0-23.6 degrees C). The kinetics of the dissociation have been studied, also by stopped-flow techniques, at five different temperatures (4.0-35.1 degrees C) using three different scavengers [Fe(II)(edta)2-, O2 and sperm whale deoxymyoglobin], which gave similar values. For the formation kf = (4.2 +/- 0.2) x 10(6) M-1 s-1, delta Hf not equal = 44.3 +/- 2.3 kJ mol-1, delta Sf not equal to = 30 +/- 8 J mol-1 K-1 and for the dissociation kd = 0.84 +/- 0.02 s-1, delta Hd not equal to 95.6 +/- 2.1 kJ mol-1 delta Sd not equal to = 74 +/- 7 J mol-1 K-1 (25 degrees C, I = 0.2 M and pH 7-8.1). From the kinetic data the thermodynamic data for the formation of HrNO were calculated: Kf = (5.0 +/- 0.3) x 10(6) M-1, delta H = -51.3 +/- 3.1 kJ mol-1 and delta S = -44 +/- 11 J mol-1 K-1 (25 degrees C). The kinetic data suggest that NO occupies the same iron(II) site in deoxyhemerythrin as oxygen does. The equilibrium constant for the formation of Fe(II)(edta)(NO)2- has been redetermined: K1 = (1.45 +/- 0.07) x 10(7) M-1, delta H = -77.5 +/- 1.5 kJ and mol-1 and delta S = -123.5 J mol-1 K-1 (25 degrees C).
