Protein states and proteinquakes

A Ansari et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1985 Aug.

Abstract

After photodissociation of carbon monoxide bound to myoglobin, the protein relaxes to the deoxy equilibrium structure in a quake-like motion. Investigation of the proteinquake and of related intramolecular equilibrium motions shows that states and motions have a hierarchical glass-like structure.
