Abstract

The reaction of nitric oxide with oxidized ceruloplasmin has been studied. It is shown that nitric oxide is capable of forming a diamagnetic charge-transfer complex with type-1 copper whereas type-2 copper is unaffected. From a comparison of the intensities of the EPR signals before and after treatment with NO it is concluded that, depending on the number of copper atoms per molecule, ceruloplasmin contains one type-2 and two or three type-1 copper atoms per molecule.
