Infrared difference spectroscopy probes vibrational changes of proteins upon their
perturbation. Compared with other spectroscopic methods, it stands out by its sensitivity to …

An overview of the application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of
the structure of proteins and protein–ligand recognition is given. The principle of the …

We have used x-ray crystallography to determine the structures of sperm whale myoglobin
(Mb) in four different ligation states (unligated, ferric aquomet, oxygenated, and …

We report the first measurement of the vibrational Stark effect in a protein, providing
quantitative information on the sensitivity of a vibrational transition to an applied electric …

We have measured the kinetics of electron transfer (ET) from the primary quinone (QA) to the
special pair (P) of the reaction center (RC) complex from Rhodobacter sphaeroides as a …

Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a recently discovered protein in vertebrate brain tissue that belongs to
the globin family of proteins. It has been implicated in the neuronal response to hypoxia or …

Single-molecule spectroscopic techniques were applied to individual pigments embedded
in a chromoprotein. A sensitive tool to monitor structural fluctuations of the protein backbone …

Proteins are the cell's workers, their messengers and overseers. In these roles, proteins
specifically bind small molecules, nucleic acid and other protein partners. Cellular systems …

Antonini and Brunori's 1971 book “Hemoglobin and Myoglobin in Their Reactions with
Ligands” was a truly remarkable publication that summarized almost 100 years of research …

The interplay between FeC and CO bonding in carboxymyoglobin (MbCO) and the role of
potential hydrogen bonding between the CO moiety and the side chains of the surrounding …
