Abstract excerpt
Cytoglobin (Cgb) and neuroglobin (Ngb) are the first examples of hexacoordinated globins from humans and other vertebrates in which a histidine (His) residue at the sixth position of the heme iron is an endogenous ligand in both the ferric and ferrous forms. Static and time-resolved resonance Raman and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques were applied in examining the structures in the heme environment of these...
