Abstract
We present the results of a comparative study of the binding of carbon monoxide to myoglobin in glycerol/buffer solution with different conc entrations of guanidine hydrochloride, under extended illumination ove r the temperature range 30-80 K. The changes in the Sorer band indicat e that the folding state of the protein is a key parameter in determin ing the photodissociation process and the relaxation rate of the prote in.
