Log-log plot of the observed bimolecular CO recombination rate constant normalized to the geminate recombination yield and the microscopic rate constant for CO entry into the pocket (assumed here to be 80 μM−1 s−1 for all species) vs. the distal water kinetic factor, (1 − nw), assayed spectrokinetically for myoglobin wild type and distal pocket mutants.12, 17 The solid line shows the linear least squares fit to the data and the dashed line represents a perfect fit to the expression k′ = (1 − nw)φgkinCO.
