Femtosecond pump-probe experiments are used to study the photophysics and photochemistry of heme proteins on ultrafast time scales. Using electronic relaxation measurements combined with reaction-driven coherence signals, we determine that, after the photoexcitation of myoglobin (Mb) NO, the bond-br

The solution structure of polypeptides can now be achieved through NMR spectroscopy, as long as the molecular mass does not much exceed 40 000 Da [1][2][3][4][5]. The determination of the structure of heme proteins, however, requires the knowledge of the position of the iron and of the atoms of the
## Abstract It is shown by using the vibronic approach that the iron displacement out of the porphyrin plane in deoxyheme proteins intermixes the porphyrin Ο and axial ironβhistidine Ο electronic subsystems. This intermixing explains the substantial coupling of the ironβhistidine vibration to the h
