## Abstract The low‐temperature heat capacity of collagen (in the hydrated and dehydrated states) and the large entropy of collagen in the coiled state relative to the same protein in the helical state were investigated. The heat capacity for collagen in the solid state in the temperature range 4°–

Synopsis
We have studied the absorption bands of oxy-and carbonmonoxyhemoglobin in the wavelength range of 650-350 nm (visible and Soret bands) and in the temperature range of 300-20 K. The spectra in the whole temperature range have been successfully deconvoluted in terms of gaussian components. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the first and second moment of the bands enables us to compare dynamic properties of the heme group in oxy-and carbonmonoxyhemoglobin. The results of the analysis indicate that the "mean-effective" frequency of the nuclear motion coupled to the electronic transition responsible for the visible bands is higher in carbonmonoxy-than in oxyhemoglobin. The possible functional relevance of this finding is discussed.
