What is Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Hydration of S-Nitrosylated Myoglobin about?

S-nitrosylation, the covalent addition of NO to the thiol side chain of cysteine, is an important post-transitional modification that can alter the function of various proteins. The structural dynamics and vibrational spectroscopy of S-nitrosylation in the condensed phase is investigated for the methyl-capped cysteine model system and for myoglobin. Using conventional point charge and physically more realistic multipolar force fields for the -SNO group it is found that the SN- and NO-stretch and the SNO-bend vibrations can be located and distinguished from the other protein modes for simulations of MbSNO at 50 K. The finding of stable cis- and trans-MbSNO is consistent with experiments on other proteins as is the observation of buried -SNO. For MbSNO the observed relocation of the EF loop in the simulations by $\sim 3$ \AA\/ is consistent with the available X-ray structure and the conformations adopted by the -SNO label are in good overall agreement with the X-ray structure. Despite the larger size of the -SNO group, MbSNO is found to recruit more water molecules within 10 \AA\/ of the modification site than WT Mb due to the stronger electrostatics. Similarly, when comparing the hy
