Publication Abstract from PubMed The crystal structures of myoglobin in the deoxy- and carbon monoxide-ligated states at a resolution of 1.15 angstroms show that carbon monoxide binding at ambient temperatures requires concerted motions of the heme, the iron, and helices E and F for relief of steric inhibition. These steps constitute the main mechanism by which heme proteins lower the affinity of the heme group for the toxic ligand carbon monoxide. A steric mechanism for inhibition of CO binding to heme proteins.,Kachalova GS, Popov AN, Bartunik HD Science. 1999 Apr 16;284(5413):473-6.
