Abstract

Hemeprotein ligand rebinding studies reveal varying IR absorbance and rebinding functions across a cryogenic ensemble. Since IR-active vibrations and rebinding barriers couple to structural coordinates, spectral and functional heterogeneity arise from conformational heterogeneity. Modeling rebinding data as a spectrally resolved superposition of first-order rate processes and employing maximum entropy regularization, protein heterogeneity is imaged as an ensemble occupancy of a spectrum-function phase space. Results from myoglobin rebinding carbon monoxide are discussed.
