Despite their high physiological relevance, haemoglobin crystal structures with NO bound to haem constitute less than 1% of the total ligated haemoglobins (Hbs) deposited in the Protein Data Bank. The major difficulty in obtaining NO-ligated Hbs is most likely to be related to the oxidative denitrosylation caused by the high reactivity of the nitrosylated species with O-2. Here, using Raman-assisted X-ray crystallography, it is shown that under X-ray exposure (at four different radiation doses) crystals of nitrosylated haemoglobin from Trematomus bernacchii undergo a transition, mainly in the beta chains, that generates a pentacoordinate species owing to photodissociation of the Fe-NO bond. These data provide a physical explanation for the low number of nitrosylated Hb structures available in the literature.
