Abstract

An interpretation is given of recent experiments by Brunori et al. on the binding of carbon monoxide by hemoglobin under photodissociating conditions. It is shown that their results follow directly from scalable models for hemoglobin in which the protein-modulated interactions are separable from the ligand binding.

Keywords: theoretical, ligand, protein-modulated interactions, light
