Dynamics of Carbon Monoxide Binding by Heme Proteins

Abstract
Rebinding of carbon monoxide to myoglobin and to cytochrome P-450 after removal by a light flash occurs down to 50°K for myoglobin and 25°K for cytochrome P-450 in glycerol-water solution. Above 240°K the reaction is second order; between 240° and 200°K the rebinding becomes exponential and independent of the carbon monoxide concentration. Below 150°K the reaction follows a power law and is approximately 103 times faster for cytochrome P-450 than for myoglobin.
