Spin cascade and doming in ferric hemes: Femtosecond X-ray absorption and X-ray emission studies [Chemistry]

The structure–function relationship is at the heart of biology, and major protein deformations are correlated to specific functions. For ferrous heme proteins, doming is associated with the respiratory function in hemoglobin and myoglobins. Cytochrome c (Cyt c) has evolved to become an important electron-transfer protein in humans. In its ferrous...
