43. The heme-CO recombination rate may differ slightly between samples, owing to the difficulty of preparing two independent samples with identical CO saturation.
44. The BuNC complex of the heme peptide, although readily photolyzeable, proved inconvenient to work with. When prepared with excess BuNC, heme peptide samples exhibit multicomponent absorption spectra immediately after photolysis, indicating the presence of an extra, unidentified heme complex in addition to the expected deoxyheme and methionine (or histidine) complexes. This other complex is absent at very low BuNC concentrations. We concluded that BuNC can displace his 18 as the proximal heme ligand, resulting in formation of the dibutyl isocyanide heme complex. To avoid forming this complex, it was necessary to work at very low BuNC concentrations (e.g. 35 μM BuNC, 100 μM heme peptide), which reduced the photolysis signal and gave a poorer signal-to-noise ratio. For this reason, we eventually used CO instead of BuNC as the photolyzeable ligand in our experiment.

46. 3 of the heme-methionine data, Figure 8. This process most likely indicates partial aggregation of the unliganded peptide molecules prior to rebinding of the CO.

51. G2 measurements for a variety of proteins unfolded in 6 M GuHCl; these results, based on viscosity data, were generally consistent with random coil statistics. Gottfried et al. suggest that the disagreement may reflect long-range intrachain interactions, possibly unique to the unfolded BPTI molecule, that persist even under strongly unfolding conditions.

63. 0 would worsen it considerably. We do not understand the origin of the discrepancy in our calculation of the loop formation time from eqs 8 and 9 and that given in ref 8.
