H&#x2014;NOX proteins are mutated to exhibit improved or optimal kinetic and thermodynamic properties for blood gas Odelivery. The engineered H&#x2014;NOX proteins comprise mutations that impart altered Oor NO ligand-binding relative to the corresponding wild-type H&#x2014;NOX domain, and are operative as physiologically compatible mammalian blood Ogas carriers. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions, kits, and methods that use wild-type or mutant H&#x2014;NOX proteins for the treatment of any condition for which delivery of Ois beneficial.
