摘要: 2D-IR exchange spectroscopy has been introduced recently to map chemical networks in equilibrium with subpicosecond time resolution. Here, we demonstrate the generalization of nonequilibrium systems and its application light-triggered migration ligands between different sites a protein. Within picoseconds after photodissociating laser pulse, carbon monoxide relocate from their binding site A at heme prosthetic group myoglobin primary docking B distal pocket. Multiple CO stretching bands are observed for ligand B, indicating that several distinct conformational substates myoglobin:ligand complex coexist solution. Exchange cross-peaks associated heme-bound photodissociated reveal substate connectivity physiological temperature.
