The technique of femtosecond coherence spectroscopy (FCS) is applied to the heme protein myoglobin. Photostable samples of deoxy myoglobin (Mb) and photochemically active samples of the nitric oxide adduct (MbNO) are investigated. The pump-induced change in the probe transmittance for both samples displays coherent oscillations that, when transformed into the frequency domain, are in agreement with the resonance Raman spectrum of deoxy Mb. This indicates that the coherences associated with the photoreactive sample (MbNO) arise from the rapidly changing forces appearing in the crossing region(s) between the reactant and product state potential energy surfaces. The relative phase and amplitude of the Fe−His vibration, associated with the sole covalent linkage between the heme and the protein, are analyzed as a function of sample state and pump/probe carrier frequency. The dependence of the phase on carrier frequency is found to be significantly different for the “field driven” coherence in Mb and the “react...
