Abstract

In this work the temperature dependence of the Soret band line shape in carbonmonoxy myoglobin is reanalyzed by using both the full correlator approach in the time domain and the frequency domain approach The new analyses exploit the full density of vibrational states of carbonmonoxy myoglobin available from normal modes analysis and avoid the artificial division of the entire set of vibrational modes coupled to the Soret transition into “highfrequency” and “lowfrequency” subsets the frequency domain analysis however makes use of the socalled shorttimes approximation while the time domain one avoids it Time domain and frequency domain analyses give very similar results thus supporting the applicability of the shorttimes approximation to the analysis of hemeprotein spectra in particular they clearly indicate the presence of spectral heterogeneity in the Soret band of carbonmonoxy myoglobin The analyses also show that a temperature dependence of the Gaussian width parameter steeper than the hyperbolic cotangent law predicted by the Einstein harmonic oscillator and/or a temperature dependence of inhomogeneous broadening are not sufficient to obtain quantitative information on the magnitude of anharmonic contributions to the iron–heme plane motion However the dependence of the previous two quantities may be used to obtain semiquantitative information on the overall coupling of the Soret transition to the lowfrequency modes and therefore on the dynamic properties of the heme pocket in different states of the protein
