a

Value in angstroms.

b

Value in degrees.

c

Dihedral angle between Fe—N—O plane and closest Fe—Np vector.

d

Signed torsion angle for the unit O—N—Fe—Np of pyrrole ring IV. Positive values refer to NO coordinated on the “top” of the porphyrin and represent a clockwise rotation about the N(NO)—Fe axis between the O—N—Fe and N—Fe—Np planes whilst negative values represent NO coordinated on the “bottom” and a counterclockwise rotation is required. Absolute φ* values of 270, 180 and 90º result in NO orientations coincident with the Fe—Np bonds of pyrrole rings I, II and III respectively.

e

Value not reported in original literature report. Taken from PDB coordinates.

f

Nitrosyl conformer 1.

g

2 molecules in asymmetric unit, molecule I.

h

2 molecules in asymmetric unit, molecule II.

i

Values reported are averaged for both subunits.

j

Cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin present.

k

Cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin absent.

l

2 orientations of NO observed, orientation I.

m

Nitrosyl conformer 2.

n

Differs from α-form by orientation of NO with respect to the heme and coordination number.

o

Disordered oxygen, position 1.

p

Disordered oxygen, position 2.

q

Structure determined by multiple scattering XAFS.
