Abstract
The photochemical release of nitric oxide (NO) from a NO precursor is advantageous in terms of spatial, temporal, and dosage control of NO delivery to target sites. To realize full control of the quantitative NO administration from photoactivated NO precursors, it is necessary to have detailed dynamical information on the photodissociation of NO from NO precursors. We synthesized two new water-soluble Roussin's red esters (RREs), [Fe2(μ-N-acetylcysteine)2(NO)4] and [Fe2(μ-N-acetylpenicillamine)2(NO)4], which have five times longer lifetime than the well-known [Fe2(μ-cysteine)2(NO)4]. The photodissociation dynamics of NO from these RREs in water were investigated over a broad time range from 0.3 ps to 10 μs after excitation at 310 and 400 nm using femtosecond time-resolved infrared (IR) spectroscopy. When these RREs are excited, they either release one NO, producing a radical species deficient in one NO (R), [Fe2(μ-RS)2(NO)3], or relax into the ground state without photodeligation via an electronically excited intermediate state (M). R appears immediately after photoexcitation, suggesting that one NO is photodissociated faster than 0.3 ps. A certain fraction of R undergoes geminate recombination (GR) with NO with a time constant of 7-9 ps, while the remaining R competitively binds to the solvent. Solvent-bound R eventually bimolecularly recombines with NO with a rate constant of (1.3-1.6) × 108 M-1 s-1. For a given RRE molecule, the fractional yield of M (0.62-0.76) depends on the excitation wavelength (λex); however, the relaxation time of M (6 ± 1 ns) is independent of λex. Although the primary quantum yield of NO photodissociation (Φ1) was found to be 0.24-0.38, the final yield of NO suitable for other reactions (Φ2) was reduced to 0.14-0.29 due to the picosecond GR of the dissociated NO with R. Detailed photoexcitation dynamics of RRE can be utilized in the quantitative control of NO administration at a specific site and time, promoting pin-point usage of NO in chemistry and biology. We demonstrate that femtosecond IR spectroscopy combined with quantum chemical calculations is a powerful method for obtaining detailed dynamic information on photoactivated NO precursors such as Φ1 and Φ2, the GR yield, and secondary reactions of the nascent photoproducts, which are essential information for the design of efficient photoactivated NO precursors and their quantitative utilization.

Abstract
We discuss our recently reported femtosecond (fs) X-ray emission spectroscopy results on the ligand dissociation and recombination in nitrosylmyoglobin (MbNO) in the context of previous studies on ferrous haem proteins. We also present a preliminary account of femtosecond X-ray absorption studies on MbNO, pointing to the presence of more than one species formed upon photolysis.

Femtosecond X-ray emission study of the spin cross-over dynamics in haem proteins. Nat Commun 2020; 11:4145.

Abstract
In haemoglobin the change from the low-spin (LS) hexacoordinated haem to the high spin (HS, S = 2) pentacoordinated domed deoxy-myoglobin (deoxyMb) form upon ligand detachment from the haem and the reverse process upon ligand binding are what ultimately drives the respiratory function. Here we probe them in the case of Myoglobin-NO (MbNO) using element- and spin-sensitive femtosecond Fe Kα and Kβ X-ray emission spectroscopy at an X-ray free-electron laser (FEL). We find that the change from the LS (S = 1/2) MbNO to the HS haem occurs in ~800 fs, and that it proceeds via an intermediate (S = 1) spin state. We also show that upon NO recombination, the return to the planar MbNO ground state is an electronic relaxation from HS to LS taking place in ~30 ps. Thus, the entire ligand dissociation-recombination cycle in MbNO is a spin cross-over followed by a reverse spin cross-over process. The change from low-spin hexacoordinated to high-spin pentacoordinated domed form in heam upon ligand detachment and the reverse process underlie the respiratory function. The authors, using femtosecond time-resolved X-ray emission spectroscopy, capture the transient states connecting the two forms in myoglobin-NO upon NO photoinduced detachment.

Solvent Composition Drives the Rebinding Kinetics of Nitric Oxide to Microperoxidase. Sci Rep 2018; 8:5281.

Abstract
The rebinding kinetics of NO after photodissociation from microperoxidase (Mp-9) is studied in different solvent environments. In mixed glycerol/water (G/W) mixtures the dissociating ligand rebinds with a yield close to 1 due to the cavities formed by the solvent whereas in pure water the ligand can diffuse into the solvent after photodissociation. In the G/W mixture, only geminate rebinding on the sub-picosecond and 5 ps time scales was found and the rebinding fraction is unity which compares well with available experiments. Contrary to that, simulations in pure water find two time scales – ~10 ps and ~200 ps - indicating that both, geminate rebinding and rebinding after diffusion of NO in the surrounding water contribute. The rebinding fraction is around 0.63 within 1 ns which is in stark contrast with experiment. Including ions (Na and Cl) at 0.15 M concentration in water leads to rebinding kinetics tending to that in the glycerol/water mixture and yields agreement with experiments. The effect of temperature is also probed and found to be non-negligible. The present simulations suggest that NO rebinding in Mp is primarily driven by thermal fluctuations which is consistent with recent resonance Raman spectroscopy experiments and simulations on MbNO.

Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the structural dynamics in topical gas- and condensed-phase systems on multiple length and time scales. Starting from vibrationally induced dissociation of small molecules in the gas phase, the question of vibrational and internal energy redistribution through conformational dynamics is further developed by considering coupled electron/proton transfer in a model peptide over many orders of magnitude. The influence of the surrounding solvent is probed for electron transfer to the solvent in hydrated I-. Next, the dynamics of a modified PDZ domain over many time scales is analyzed following activation of a photoswitch. The hydration dynamics around halogenated amino acid side chains and their structural dynamics in proteins are relevant for iodinated TyrB26 insulin. Binding of nitric oxide to myoglobin is a process for which experimental and computational analyses have converged to a common view which connects rebinding time scales and the underlying dynamics. Finally, rhodopsin is a paradigmatic system for multiple length- and time-scale processes for which experimental and computational methods provide valuable insights into the functional dynamics. The systems discussed here highlight that for a comprehensive understanding of how structure, flexibility, energetics, and dynamics contribute to functional dynamics, experimental studies in multiple wavelength regions and computational studies including quantum, classical, and more coarse grained levels are required.

Abstract
Diatomic ligands in hemoproteins and the way they bind to the active center are central to the protein's function. Using picosecond Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we probe the NO-heme recombination kinetics with direct sensitivity to the Fe-NO binding after 532-nm photoexcitation of nitrosylmyoglobin (MbNO) in physiological solutions. The transients at 70 and 300 ps are identical, but they deviate from the difference between the static spectra of deoxymyoglobin and MbNO, showing the formation of an intermediate species. We propose the latter to be a six-coordinated domed species that is populated on a timescale of ∼ 200 ps by recombination with NO ligands. This work shows the feasibility of ultrafast pump-probe X-ray spectroscopic studies of proteins in physiological media, delivering insight into the electronic and geometric structure of the active center.

Abstract
The catalytic site of heme-copper oxidases encompasses two close-lying ligand binding sites: the heme, where oxygen is bound and reduced and the CuB atom, which acts as ligand entry and release port. Diatomic gaseous ligands with a dipole moment, such as the signaling molecules carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO), carry clear infrared spectroscopic signatures in the different states that allow characterization of the dynamics of ligand transfer within, into and out of the active site using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. We review the nature and diversity of these processes that have in particular been characterized with CO as ligand and which take place on time scales ranging from femtoseconds to milliseconds. These studies have advanced our understanding of the functional ligand pathways and reactivity in enzymes and more globally represent intriguing model systems for mechanisms of ligand motion in a confined protein environment. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Vibrational spectroscopies and bioenergetic systems.

Abstract
The ability of hemoproteins to discriminate between diatomic molecules, and the subsequent affinity for their chosen ligand, is fundamental to the existence of life. These processes are often controlled by precise structural arrangements in proteins, with heme pocket residues driving reactivity and specificity. One such protein is cytochrome c', which has the ability to bind nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) on opposite faces of the heme, a property that is shared with soluble guanylate cycle. Like soluble guanylate cyclase, cytochrome c' also excludes O2 completely from the binding pocket. Previous studies have shown that the NO binding mechanism is regulated by a proximal arginine residue (R124) and a distal leucine residue (L16). Here, we have investigated the roles of these residues in maintaining the affinity for NO in the heme binding environment by using various time‐resolved spectroscopy techniques that span the entire femtosecond–second temporal range in the UV‐vis spectrum, and the femtosecond–nanosecond range by IR spectroscopy. Our findings indicate that the tightly regulated NO rebinding events following excitation in wild‐type cytochrome c' are affected in the R124A variant. In the R124A variant, vibrational and electronic changes extend continuously across all time scales (from fs–s), in contrast to wild‐type cytochrome c' and the L16A variant. Based on these findings, we propose a NO (re)binding mechanism for the R124A variant of cytochrome c' that is distinct from that in wild‐type cytochrome c'. In the wider context, these findings emphasize the importance of heme pocket architecture in maintaining the reactivity of hemoproteins towards their chosen ligand, and demonstrate the power of spectroscopic probes spanning a wide temporal range.

Abstract
Femtosecond mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy was used to probe geminate rebinding (GR) dynamics of photo-released nitric oxide (NO) to ferric hemoglobin (Hb(III)) in D2O solution at room temperature. Time-resolved vibrational spectra exhibit two overlapping NO bands for NO-bound Hb(III) (Hb(III)NO), a major band at 1925 cm(-1) (89%) and a minor one at 1905 cm(-1) (11%), suggesting that Hb(III)NO has at least two conformational substates. Both bands decay nonexponentially, each with a different time scale, and the decays are described by a stretched exponential function; the major band's decay is described by 0.96 exp(-t/40 ps)(0.86) + 0.04 and the minor band's decay is described by exp(-t/85 ps)(0.75). These decays arise mainly from the GR of the photo-released NO to Hb(III), indicating that the bound state's conformer influences the NO binding. In particular, the His64 residue, known to have inward conformation in the major band and outward conformation in the minor band, plays a significant role in controlling the binding of NO to Hb(III). The GR of NO to ferric Hb is slower than that to ferrous Hb, which shows fast and efficient GR due to the high reactivity of NO to the heme Fe(ii). The slower GR of NO to Hb(III) may be caused by the lower reactivity of NO to the heme Fe(iii).
