The recent discovery that heme proteins can serve as molecular biosensors has opened up a new direction in heme biochemistry directed towards elucidating their structure-function relationships. Examples of such sensory heme proteins include the FixL proteins of Rhizobia involved in oxygen sensing, t

Nanosized TiO 2 is now an attractive biocompatiable material widely used in toothpaste and cosmetics. Due to its unique physiochemical properties and its inclination to selectively combine with some groups of biomolecules, nanosized TiO 2 has been proposed as a promising interface for the immobiliza
## Abstract __In silico__ screening has become a valuable tool in drug design, but some drug targets represent real challenges for docking algorithms. This is especially true for metalloproteins, whose interactions with ligands are difficult to parametrize. Our docking algorithm, EADock, is based o

## 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
## Abstract Heme proteins that have been reconstituted with certain hemins may contain substantial fractions of a minor component in which the orientation of the heme in the folded pocket differs from the major (βnativeβ) conformation by a 180Β° rotation about the Ξ±βΞ³ meso axis. In fact, this minor
