ATOMIC RESOLUTION CRYSTAL STRUCTURE AQUOMET-MYOGLOBIN FROM SPERM WHALE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
|
OverviewOverview
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.
