Abstract
The article provides a comprehensive view of S-nitrosothiols, chemical behaviour, the pathways leading to their synthesis, their spectral properties, analytical methods of detection and determination, chemical and photochemical reactivity, kinetic aspects and suggested mechanisms. The structure parameters of S-nitrosothiols and the parent thiols are analysed with respect to their effect on the strengthening or weakening the S–NO bond, and in consequence on the S-nitrosothiol stability. This depends also on the ease of S–S bond formation in the product disulphide. These structural features seem to be crucial both to spontaneous as well as to Cu-catalysed decomposition. Principal emphasis is given here to the S-nitrosothiols’ ability to act as ligands and to the effect of coordination on the ligand properties. The chemical and photochemical behaviours of the complexes are described in more detail and their roles in chemical and biochemical systems are discussed. The aim of the article is to demonstrate that the contribution of S-nitrosothiols to chemical and biochemical processes is more diverse than supposed hitherto. Nevertheless, their role is predictable and, based on the correlation between structure and reactivity, many important mechanisms of biochemical processes can be interpreted and various applications designed.

Carbon monoxide promotes respiratory hemoproteins iron reduction using peroxides as electron donors. PLoS One 2012; 7:e33039.

Abstract
The physiological role of the respiratory hemoproteins (RH), hemoglobin and myoglobin, is to deliver O(2) via its binding to their ferrous (Fe(II)) heme-iron. Under variety of pathological conditions RH proteins leak to blood plasma and oxidized to ferric (Fe(III), met) forms becoming the source of oxidative vascular damage. However, recent studies have indicated that both metRH and peroxides induce Heme Oxygenase (HO) enzyme producing carbon monoxide (CO). The gas has an extremely high affinity for the ferrous heme-iron and is known to reduce ferric hemoproteins in the presence of suitable electron donors. We hypothesized that under in vivo plasma conditions, peroxides at low concentration can assist the reduction of metRH in presence of CO. The effect of CO on interaction of metRH with hydrophilic or hydrophobic peroxides was analyzed by following Soret and visible light absorption changes in reaction mixtures. It was found that under anaerobic conditions and low concentrations of RH and peroxides mimicking plasma conditions, peroxides served as electron donors and RH were reduced to their ferrous carboxy forms. The reaction rates were dependent on CO as well as peroxide concentrations. These results demonstrate that oxidative activity of acellular ferric RH and peroxides may be amended by CO turning on the reducing potential of peroxides and facilitating the formation of redox-inactive carboxyRH. Our data suggest the possible role of HO/CO in protection of vascular system from oxidative damage.

Abstract
The "hyperhemolytic paradigm" (HHP) posits that hemolysis in sickle disease sequentially and causally establishes increased cell-free plasma Hb, consumption of NO, a state of NO biodeficiency, endothelial dysfunction, and a high prevalence of pulmonary hypertension. The basic science underpinning this concept has added an important facet to the complexity of vascular pathobiology in sickle disease, and clinical research has identified worrisome clinical issues. However, this critique identifies and explains a number of significant concerns about the various HHP component tenets. In addressing these issues, this report presents: a very brief history of the HHP, an integrated synthesis of mechanisms underlying sickle hemolysis, a review of the evidentiary value of hemolysis biomarkers, an examination of evidence bearing on existence of a hyperhemolytic subgroup, and a series of questions that should naturally be applied to the HHP if it is examined using critical thinking skills, the fundamental basis of evidence-based medicine. The veracity of different HHP tenets is found to vary from true, to weakly supported, to demonstrably false. The thesis is developed that the HHP has misidentified the mechanism and clinical significance of its findings. The extant research questions identified by these analyses are delineated, and a conservative, evidence-based approach is suggested for application in clinical medicine.

Abstract
The concept of an anti-oxidant defence system as a means to prevent oxidative cell damage implies balanced activities of anti-oxidant defence enzymes. As well as positive correlations between anti-oxidant enzyme activities in human erythrocytes, it has been observed that sometimes when glutathione peroxidase activity is increased, CuZn-superoxide dismutase activity is decreased. In our current study we have examined the plasma lipid profile and the anti-oxidant defence enzymes in erythrocytes from humans, pigs, and bulls. We found that a negative correlation existed between CuZn-superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities in human erythrocytes when the concentrations of both plasma triglycerides and total cholesterol were high. This correlation was also found in pig erythrocytes, but not in bull erythrocytes. We propose that cholesterol could affect membrane lipid peroxidation and superoxide generation in erythrocytes via the recently found fraction of cholesterol bound to haemoglobin, termed haemoglobin-cholesterol.

Abstract
To study the antimalarial action of chloroquine, normal mouse erythrocytes were used as surrogates for erythrocytoid bodies. These bodies form in the endosomes of intraerythrocytic malaria parasites as they feed on their host and consist of erythrocyte cytoplasm enclosed in a vestige of the erythrocyte membrane. In suspensions of normal erythrocytes or lysates (equivalent to 5 microl of erythrocytes per ml in each case), hemoglobin underwent denaturation when it was incubated at 38 degrees C in 150 mM sodium acetate (pH 5). It is reasonable to assume that the same phenomenon occurs in acidic endosomes. Addition of 100 microM chloroquine to the incubation mixture caused the rate of hemoglobin denaturation to double to 40 nanomoles per hour per ml of packed erythrocytes. This effect required the presence of erythrocyte stroma and was inhibited by reducing the temperature to 24 degrees C or increasing the pH to 6. We propose that the primary antimalarial action of chloroquine is to bind to ferriprotoporphyrin IX (FP) and remove it from oxidized hemoglobin, thus producing toxic FP-chloroquine complexes and an excess of denatured globin. Furthermore, we suggest that these substances inhibit endosomal maturation and thereby cause hemoglobin accumulation in immature endosomes and masking of the lipids needed for FP dimerization. The term "masking" is used to signify that unsaturated lipids are present in parasitized erythrocytes but are specifically unavailable to promote FP dimerization.

Abstract
A new approach to enhance the circulation persistence of liposomes has been applied to develop liposome-encapsulated actin-hemoglobin (LEAcHb) dispersions as potential blood substitutes by introducing an actin matrix into the liposome aqueous core. Asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation coupled with multi-angle static light scattering was used to study the shape, size distribution, and encapsulation efficiency of liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin (LEHb) and LEAcHb dispersions. By polymerizing monomeric actin into filamentous actin inside the liposome aqueous core, LEAcHb particles transformed into a disk-like shape. We studied the effect of an encapsulated actin matrix on the size distribution, hemoglobin (Hb) encapsulation efficiency, oxygen affinity, and methemoglobin (MetHb) level of LEAcHb dispersions, and compared them with plain LEHb dispersions (without actin). LEHb, and LEAcHb dispersions extruded through 400 nm membranes were injected into rats and it was observed that LEAcHb dispersions with 1mg/mL of actin enhanced the circulatory half-life versus LEHb dispersions. The circulatory characteristics of empty PEGylated and non-PEGylated actin-containing liposomes (without Hb) were studied as controls for the LEHb and LEAcHb dispersions in this paper, which displayed maximum circulatory half-lives greater than 72 h. Taken together the results of this study supports our hypothesis that a lipid membrane supported by an underlying actin matrix will extend the circulatory half-life of LEHb dispersions.

Abstract
The interaction of carbonmonoxyhemoglobin and heme with small unilamellar phospholipid vesicles was studied using dynamic light scattering. Addition of carbonmonoxyhemoglobin to dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine:dimyristoylphosphatidylserine small unilamellar vesicles resulted in an increase of average vesicle size from 17.4 to 32.0nm. Addition of heme to vesicles produced a smaller size increase, from 17.4 to 21.0nm. Also reported is a method for preparing small unilamellar lipid vesicles of a uniform size, suitable for use in NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The susceptibility of small and large egg yolk phosphatidylcholine unilamellar vesicles to Fe(2+)/histidine-Fe(3+)- and Fenton reagent (Fe(2+)-H(2)O(2))-induced lipid peroxidation was evaluated by measuring the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). It has been found that surface curvature or phospholipid packing exerts significant effect on the oxidative susceptibility of the unsaturated lipid bilayers and the highly curved and loosely packed small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) exhibit much less resistance to the oxidative stress induced by the water-soluble free radical sources. The presence of lipid hydroperoxides in sonicated vesicles was excluded as the cause for higher level of lipid peroxidation in the phospholipid SUVs. Instead, the experimental results can be explained by the difference in ability of the water-soluble oxidants to penetrate the two types of lipid membranes. This hypothesis is supported by data obtained from fluorescence lifetime and quenching studies.

Abstract
The effect of freezing and bacterial growth on the discoloration of beef was assessed by measuring myoglobin derivatives myoglobin (MB), oxymyoglobin (MBO(2)), and metmyoglobin (METMB) on the surfaces of fresh and frozen-thawed packaged beef cuts stored at 2 degrees C and analyzed after 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days of storage. MB, MBO(2), and METMB concentrations were measured spectrophotometrically. Frozen-thawed beef samples experienced less "blooming" (conversion of MB to MBO(2)) and more rapid discoloration than fresh cuts during storage. By day 3, >20% METMB was formed in the frozen-thawed samples, whereas the fresh samples reached this value after day 6 of storage. The rates of MB oxidation were similar (P > 0.05) for sterile and frozen-thawed inoculated (Pseudomonas fluorescens at a rate of 1.5 colony forming units/cm(2).cm(2) area) samples from day 0 through day 6 of storage. For storage periods of less than a week, bacterial growth is not a major cause of meat discoloration. After day 6, the high bacterial growth rate resulted in a rapid increase in METMB formation. Possible mechanisms for MB oxidation in frozen-thawed beef are suggested.

Abstract
We used electron microscopy, quasi-elastic light scattering and static light scattering to show that human hemoglobin (Hb) interacts with bovine brain phosphatidylserine lipid vesicles and promotes vesicle fusion in an isotonic buffer at pH 7.4. The fusogenic properties of Hb were observed in both small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) and large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). A simple turbidity measurement method was used to follow increases in vesicle size (scattering diameter) as a function of time. For the first 3 h, upon incubation with oxygenated Hb, the scattering diameters of vesicles increased at a rate of 7.8 nm/h for LUVs. Continuous incubation with Hb led to complicated vesicle fusion, probably due to the oxidation products of Hb and lipid molecules. In the absence of both Hb and lipid oxidation, using Hb liganded with carbon monoxide, we obtained, for the entire 20 h incubation period, a fusion rate of 2.9 nm/h for LUVs. We also studied interactions between sickle Hb and vesicles under the same conditions and found that the vesicle fusion rates for sickle Hb were about 2 times faster than those for normal Hb. These results showed that sickle Hb exhibited more extensive interactions with lipid bilayer than normal Hb at physiological pH and ionic strength conditions, and provide insights toward understanding the molecular mechanisms in sickle cell abnormalities.

Abstract
We searched for a biochemical explanation to the modification of lipoproteins like low-density lipoproteins (LDL) observed in patients with the severe hemolytic anemia beta-thalassemia. Because a large fraction of the LDL surface is composed of phospholipids, we first explored the possible involvement of phospholipids in the oxidative interaction of LDL with hemoglobin (Hb), using brain extract phospholipid liposomes as a model. The relative binding affinity and oxidative interaction of three hemoglobin variants (intact Hb A and isolated beta- and alpha-chains) with LDL and liposome were compared. Studies carried out at low pH/ionic strength and under physiological conditions revealed that association of hemoglobin variants with the phospholipid liposomes is driven by electrostatic forces but their binding is not a prerequisite for oxidative interaction. Unlike phospholipid liposomes, LDL underwent only a negligible association with the Hb variants under all pH/ionic strength conditions. Nevertheless, LDL induced oxidation of Hb variants, mostly alpha-chains. The dissimilar behavior of the liposomes and LDL indicated that LDL protein apo B rather than phospholipids is the actual LDL surface component which interacts with the hemoglobin variants. This agrees with the finding that apo B protein underwent oxidative crosslinking by the hemoglobin variants among which alpha-chains were most active. We concluded from these results that the ability of hemoglobin to undergo autooxidation is the key to its oxidative reactivity toward LDL. The results of the present study indicate that the modified LDL particles observed in beta-thalassemia may reflect lipoprotein oxidation by alpha-chains in circulation.
