Abstract excerpt
Kinetic traces were generated for the nanosecond and slower rebinding of photodissociated CO to trHbN in solution and in porous sol-gel matrices as a function of viscosity, conformation, and mutation. TrHbN is one of the two truncated hemoglobins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The kinetic traces were analyzed in terms of three distinct phases. These three phases are ascribed to rebinding: (i) from the distal...
