The thermal properties and the pH dependence of the Soret band and the near infrared band III (~ 760 nm) are analyzed, taking into account the underlying vibrational properties of the absorption bands. The strong temperature dependence associated with the Soret band of MbCO and band III of Mb indicates significant coupling to low-frequency modes that may not be directly observed in the resonance Raman spectra. On the basis of analogous line-shape studies in a variety of heme systems, we assign the low-frequency coupling in MbCO to torsional motions of the CO molecule. The low-frequency mode coupled to band III (~ 70 cm" 1) is found to lie quite close to the value for the heme-doming motion (~ 50 cm" 1) calculated by using the kinetically determined value of the force constant (17 N/m). Significant inhomogeneous broadening in the Soret region of Mb and Mb* is found to be due to a “nonkinetic” coordinate that we associate with the orientation of the proximal histidine. A “kinetic” coordinate, associated with the equilibrium displacement of the iron atom from the porphyrin plane (a) is found to contribute to the inhomogeneous broadening of both the Soret band and band III. The relaxation of the heme as the systemevolves from from Mb* to Mb is followed optically as a function of temperature, and a sharp transition temperature is found at 185 K. The blue shifts of the Soret band and band III as Mb* evolves to Mb are found to be nearly identical (APAbs~ 140 cm" 1) and attributed to changes in the mean value of a between Mb*(aj) and Mb (a0= 0.45 A). A simple quadratic model for the coordinate coupling that simultaneously accounts for the observed shift, 8, the low-temperature kinetics and the kinetic hole burning predicts a'0= 0.2±0.05 Á and= 16±2 kJ/mol for the room temperature Arrhenius barrier height at the heme. A simple quantitative method for the analysis of kinetic hole-burning experiments is also developed and applied to recent studies involving quaternary and sub-unit-specific hemoglobinstructures.Heme proteins constitute an important class of biomolecules that are involved in a wide variety of fundamental ligandbinding, catalysis, and electrontransport reactions. The electronic structure and covalent linkage of the heme prosthetic group, located at the active site of the macromolecule, clearly plays a central role in the biochemical activity and functional diversity of heme proteins. Nevertheless, the interaction between the heme and the protein motions is also of inherent interest, since the fluctuations and conformational changes of the surrounding protein matrix can lead to dynamic modulations of the heme geometry that affect its reactivity. As a specific example, we consider the binding of diatomic
