cross-linked hemoglobin bis-tetramers with good oxygen delivery potential have 3fold enhanced nitrite reductase activity, compared to native protein and cross-linked tetramers. Conjugation of four polyethylene glocol chains to the bis-tetramer at each beta-Cys-93 produces a material with additionallly 2.5fold increased nitrite reductase activity while retaining cooperativity |

mitochondrial electron carrier cytochrome c can also effectively reduce nitrite to NO. This nitrite reductase activity is highly regulated as it is dependent on pentacoordination of the heme iron in the protein and occurs under anoxic and acidic conditions. In the presence of nitrite, pentacoordinate cytochrome c generates bioavailable NO that is able to inhibit mitochondrial respiration |
| 1.7.2.1 | nitrite + ferrocytochrome c |

| 1.7.2.1 | nitrite + ferrocytochrome c + 2 H+ |

| 1.7.2.1 | nitrite + ferrocytochrome c2 |
there is likely an unidentified electron donor, in addition to c2 that transfers electrons to nitrite reductase |
