Structural and dynamic properties of the heme pocket in myoglobin probed by optical spectroscopy
Abstract We report the optical absorption spectra of sperm whale deoxy‐, oxy‐, and carbonmonoxymyoglobin in the temperature range 300–20 K and in 65% glycerol or ethylene glycol–water mixtures. By lowering the temperature, all bands exhibit half‐width narrowing and peak frequency shift; moreover, th...
