Abstract

Advanced spectroscopic techniques coupled with DFT calculations reveal the vibrational dynamics of the iron in stable dioxygen complexes with myoglobin and with a mutant engineered to model the catalytic site of heme-copper oxidases. The unprecedented level of detail will constrain computational modelling of reactions with oxygen.
