7. The reconstitution procedures for the preparation of ZnDMb and ZnD(dme)Mb are slightly different. ZnDMb was prepared by adding 10% NaOH solution containing ZnD porphyrin into the apoMb solution. ZnD(dme)Mb was prepared by adding DMSO/CHiOH(v/v 3:1) containing ZnD(dme) porphyrin into the apoMb solution; the final concentration of the organic solvent was kept below 8% to prevent denaturation.

13. ( 13) The transient absorption spectrum at times longer than the triplet decay has a feature around 670 nm assigned lo the radical cation of ZnDMb/ZnD(dme)Mh, along with one at 562 nm attributed to reduced cyt b$.
14. 3+P Forster energy transfer depends on the emission spectrum of the energy donor, which is the same for ZnDMb and ZnD(dme)Mb (Turro, N. J. Modem Molecular Photochemistry; Benjamin/ Cummings Publishing Co.: Menlo Park, CA, 1978). Consequently any increase in energy transfer with esterificalion must come from a charge in the distribution of binding geometries, as discussed below.

24. This is consistent with the observation that neutralisation has no effect on the steady-state fluorescence, energy-transfer quenching titration, which should be dominated by the majority conformations. Time-resolved fluorescence quenching studies will be performed to give further insight into this issue.
