Abstract excerpt
In a combined experimental-theoretical study, we investigated the transport of vibrational energy from the surrounding solvent into the interior of a heme protein, the sperm whale myoglobin double mutant L29W-S108L, and its dependence on temperature from 20 to 70 K. The hindered libration of a CO molecule that is not covalently bound to any part of the protein but is trapped in one of its binding pockets (the Xe4...
