FTIR studies of environmental effects on carbonmonoxymyoglobin

In this thesis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the interaction between the protein myoglobin (Mb), and substrate carbon-monoxide (CO), as a model system of control in protein-ligand systems. IR spectra of the CO molecule bound to Mb have been obtained as a function of intensive variables such as temperature, pressure and pH, as well as in different solvents, and at low hydration. In addition, IR spectra have been obtained for a genetically synthesized version of Mb with glycine substituted for the distal histidine (His E7).
