Nat Struct Biol. 4:1997;209-214 Time-resolved IR spectra of CO dissociated from the heme of Mb are recorded with ≈ 200 fs time resolution. The spectra reveal two CO trajectories in which the ligand rotates ≈ 90° and becomes trapped within a nearby ligand-docking site. Subsequent evolution of the CO spectrum reveals the dynamics of protein rearrangement about the translocated ligand. of outstanding interest.

Biochemistry. 35:1996;13001-13005 Conformational changes of hemoglobin upon ligand dissociation and recombination are probed using step-scan FTIR with 20 ns time resolution. Although most of the difference bands are developed within the first 50 ns, some arise with a time constant of 0.4 μs, reflecting a tertiary motion that is coincident with a quaternary motion detected by others. Two relaxation rates are observed, suggesting that either tertiary structural changes both precede and follow recombination, or there are different recombination rates for the α and β chains in the dimer. of special interest.

Biochemistry. 35:1996;691-697 Unfolding of a 21-residue α-helical peptide (suc-Fs 21-peptide) is initiated using an 18° C T-jump with 20 ns resolution; refolding is not observed on the submillisecond timescale. The frequency and width of the amide I band are used to probe the kinetics of helix melting. Helix/coil interconversion is shown to occur on a timescale three orders of magnitude more rapid than that of intramolecular tertiary contact formation. of special interest.
