Distal cavity fluctuations in myoglobin: protein motion and ligand diffusion.

Biochemistry - 30 Jan 1996

Carlson M L, Regan R M, Gibson Q H

Abstract excerpt

Experimentally, distal mutations in myoglobin substantially affect the contribution of fast and slow phases to picosecond geminate recombination of NO following flash photolysis. Earlier simulations of ligand diffusion among distal pocket mutants showed greatly differing rates of collisions betwe...
