Picosecond Processes Involving CO, O2, and NO Derivatives of Hemeproteins

  • Conference paper
Picosecond Phenomena III

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 23))

Abstract

Already it is well known that many ultrafast processes occur in biological systems. Picosecond pulses are used to initiate biological reactions in which light is either a natural constituent, such as in photosynthesis and vision, or a device to create nonequilibrium states of complex systems, such as with oxyhemoglobin. We have studied several heme proteins by picosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, a technique that is capable of revealing both ligand dynamics and changes in the protein structure.
