The native state of apomyoglobin described by proton NMR spectroscopy: interaction with the paramagnetic probe HyTEMPO and the fluorescent dye ANS.
Proton NMR experiments were carried out on apomyoglobin from sperm whale and horse skeletal muscle. Two small molecules, the paramagnetic relaxation agent 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy (HyTEMPO) and the fluorescent dye 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS), were used to alter a...

Proton NMR experiments were carried out on apomyoglobin from sperm whale and horse skeletal muscle.
