Table 1.

Vibrational population relaxation times, T1, for the dissociated CO in the heme pocket of solvated myoglobin at room temperature

His-64 B1 2131 cm−1 B2 2119 cm−1
δ-tautomer 335  ±  115 330  ±  145
ɛ-tautomer 640  ±  185 590  ±  175

Estimates are made at CO frequencies of 2,131 and 2,119 cm−1, which are identified with the B1 and B2 states of photolyzed CO in myoglobin. Times are given in ps.
