Nitric oxide (NO) is bound to various hemoproteins to inhibit or activate protein functions. Since NO induces<br />

oxidation of oxyMb yielding inactive metMb, the mechanism for oxidation of oxyMb by NO has been well<br />

studied and established. Meanwhile, Mb binds NO and (NO)Mb is gradually oxidized to metMb and NO3 - .<br />

However, the mechanism for oxidation of (NO)Mb by dioxygen has not been clarified. Recently, we<br />

demonstrated the mechanism for oxidation of the NO adduct of a Mb model [1]. In this work, we studied the<br />

mechanism for oxidation of the NO adduct of 5,<strong>10</strong>,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphinato manganese(II)<br />

(Mn(II)TPPS) complexed with a model protein to confirm our previous mechanism. The model system is<br />

composed of a per-O-methylated beta-cyclodextrin dimer (Py2CD) having a pyridine linker and Mn(II)TPPS.<br />

Py2CD formed an extremely stable 1:1 inclusion complex (Mn(II)PCD) of Mn(II)TPPS in aqueous phosphate<br />

buffer solution at pH 7.0. Mn(II)PCD bound NO and (NO)Mn(II)PCD was gradually oxidized to Mn(III)PCD<br />

and NO3 - under aerobic conditions, the half-life time being ~35 h. The oxidation obeyed the zero-order kinetics,<br />

suggesting that NO gradually dissociates from its adduct (rate-determining step) and Mn(II)TPPS formed is<br />

autoxidized by dioxygen affording Mn(III)PCD and superoxide. The superoxide anion immediately reacts with<br />

NO to yield NO3 - . The present study supports the previous mechanism for (NO)Fe(II)PCD [1].<br />
