For more than 50 years bioinorganic chemistry has remained an expanding and exciting
interdisciplinary field of science. 1-6 One of the rapidly growing and evolving new research …

Energy flows anisotropically through the residues and vibrational states of globular proteins.
A variety of experimental and computational studies have identified energy transport …

Excitons are considered as the basic concept used by describing the spectral properties of
photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes and excitation dynamics in photosynthetic light …

Simple and effective methods for solving problems in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
are scarce and valuable. In the absence of elementary textbooks in this area, such methods …

The biological activity of macromolecules is accompanied by rapid structural changes. The
photosensitivity of the carbon monoxide complex of myoglobin was used at the European …

The multifunctional protein cytochrome c (cyt c) plays key roles in electron transport and
apoptosis, switching function by modulating bonding between a heme iron and the sulfur in …

The formation of vibrationally excited heme upon photodissociation of carbonmonoxy
myoglobin and its subsequent vibrational energy relaxation was monitored by picosecond …

We report experimental and theoretical studies on water and protein dynamics following
photoexcitation of apomyoglobin. Using site-directed mutation and with femtosecond …

The advent of laser-based sources of ultrafast infrared pulses has extended the study of very
fast molecular dynamics to the observation of processes manifested through their effects on …

We investigated protein motions using normal modes within a database framework,
determining on a large sample the degree to which normal modes anticipate the direction of …
