A schematic view of a possible mechanism to account for the structural constraints involved in damping the heme response after CO photolysis (see text). Displacements caused by the transition from the CO-bound state (dark gray) to the deoxy state (light gray), together with relevant residues and the heme, are shown. Arrows highlight stereochemical clashes.
