Abstract

Reduction of nitrite by NADH catalyzed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa nitrite reductase is inhibited by a high concentration of nitric oxide NO. Contrary to what is currently admitted, we find that the nitrite reduction proceeds to the nitrogen monoxide N2O stage. EPR spectra show that, during the catalytic cycle, the enzyme forms specific Fe2+-NO heminic complexes.
