Figure 1
Structure of myoglobin, with regions of lowest mean square displacement shown in red. Regions of successively higher mean square displacement are shown in yellow, green, and blue. The blue spheres near the center represent the oxygen molecule, which is bound to the heme iron atom.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Mean square displacement as a function of amino acid residue at 80 K of sperm-whale Mb with oxygen bound, and the deoxy form. Arrows indicate the five conserved distal residues that line the heme pocket and His-93, which is covalently bound to the heme iron atom on the proximal side.
