Abstract excerpt
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 protein amino acids have been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies. In this work, we present a quantitative measure for the intrinsic FeC and CO bond strength in MbCO, as well as for CO⋯H bonding, based on the local...
