Figure 1.
Figure 1. a: F[o]-F[c] omit electron density map contoured at 3 and final model showing a side view of the heme environment in hh MbNO. The dashed yellow line represents the 3.0 Å distance between N^ of the distal His64 residue and the N atom of the nitrosyl ligand. Carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and iron atoms are colored gray, red, blue, and brown, respectively. b: Top view of the heme in hh MbNO, with the NO ligand on the side of the porphyrin ring facing the viewer. The coloring scheme is the same as in (a) with the exception of the proximal His93 ligand, which is shown in yellow for clarity.
