Abstract
The chemical reactivity of NO and its role in several biological processes seem well established. Despite this, the chemical reduction of •NO toward HNO has been historically discarded, mainly because of the negative reduction potential of NO. However, this value and its implications are nowadays under revision. The last reported redox potential, E'(NO,H+/HNO), at micromolar and picomolar concentrations of •NO and HNO, respectively, is between -0.3 and 0 V at pH 7.4. This potential implies that the one-electron-reduction process for NO is feasible under biological conditions and could be promoted by well-known biological reductants with reduction potentials of around -0.3 to -0.5 V. Moreover, the biologically compatible chemical reduction of •NO (nonenzymatic), like direct routes to HNO by alkylamines, aromatic and pseudoaromatic alcohols, thiols, and hydrogen sulfide, has been extensively explored by our group during the past decade. The aim of this work is to use a kinetic modeling approach to analyze electrochemical HNO measurements and to report for the first-time direct reaction rate constants between •NO and moderate reducing agents, producing HNO. These values are between 5 and 30 times higher than the previously reported keff values. On the other hand, we also showed that reaction through successive attack by two NO molecules to biologically compatible compounds could produce HNO. After over 3 decades of intense research, the •NO chemistry is still there, ready to be discovered.

Abstract
The interconversion of NO and HNO, via copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), is important in biomedicine and for HNO detection. Many mechanistic questions, including the decades-long debate on reversibility, were resolved in this work. Calculations of various active-site and full-protein models show that the basic mechanism is proton-coupled electron transfer with a computed barrier of 10.98 kcal mol-1 , which is in excellent agreement with experimental results (10.62 kcal mol-1 ), and this nonheme protein-mediated reaction has many significant mechanistic differences compared with the conversions mediated by heme proteins due to geometric and electronic factors. The reasons for the irreversible nature of this conversion and models with the first thermodynamically favorable and kinetically feasible mechanism for the experimental reverse reaction were discovered. Such results are the first for nonheme enzyme mediated HNO to NO conversions, which shall facilitate other related studies and HNO probe development.

Updating NO •/HNO interconversion under physiological conditions: A biological implication overview. J Inorg Biochem 2020; 216:111333.

Abstract
Azanone (HNO/NO-), also called nitroxyl, is a highly reactive compound whose biological role is still a matter of debate. A key issue that remains to be clarified regarding HNO and its biological activity is that of its endogenous formation. Given the overlap of the molecular targets and reactivity of nitric oxide (NO•) and HNO, its chemical biology was perceived to be similar to that of NO• as a biological signaling agent. However, despite their closely related reactivity, NO• and HNO's biochemical pathways are quite different. Moreover, the reduction of nitric oxide to azanone is possible but necessarily coupled to other reactions, which drive the reaction forward, overcoming the unfavorable thermodynamic barrier. The mechanism of this NO•/HNO interplay and its downstream effects in different contexts were studied recently, showing that more than fifteen moderate reducing agents react with NO• producing HNO. Particularly, it is known that the reaction between nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) produces HNO. However, this rate constant was not reported yet. In this work, firstly the NO•/H2S effective rate constant was measured as a function of the pH. Then, the implications of these chemical (non-enzymatic), biologically compatible, routes to endogenous HNO formation was discussed. There is no doubt that HNO could be (is?) a new endogenously produced messenger that mediates specific physiological responses, many of which were attributed yet to direct NO• effects.

Abstract
Many HNO-scavenging pathways exist to regulate its biological and pharmacological activities. Such reactions often involve ferric heme proteins and form an important basis for HNO probe development. However, mechanisms of HNO reactions with ferric heme proteins are largely unknown. We performed a computational investigation using metmyoglobin and catalase as representative ferric heme proteins with neutral and negatively charged axial ligands to provide the first detailed pathways. The results reproduced experimental barriers well with an average error of 0.11 kcal mol-1 . The rate-limiting step was found to be dissociation of the resting ligand or HNO coordination when there is no resting ligand. For both heme proteins, in contrast to the non-heme case, the reductive nitrosylation step was found to be barrierless proton-coupled electron transfer, which provides the major thermodynamic driving force for the overall reaction. The origin of the difference in reactivity between metmyoglobin and catalase was also revealed.
