Popis: Chemical shifts and spin-lattice relaxation parameters for ^(13)CO bonded to the complex 1 -methylimidazole-iron protoporphyrin dimethyl ester are reported. The ^(13)CO chemical shifts are much different from those observed in the carbonyl vertebrate hemoglobins, but remarkably similar to that observed for the monomeric hemoglobin component from Glycera dibranchiata. The relaxation parameter, T_1, is shown to change dramatically upon ligation to both the hemin model system and to hemoglobin A. The mechanisms of spin-lattice relaxation are dominated by chemical shift anisotropy for ^(13)CO bound to both hemins and proteins, but, in the latter, dipole-dipole forces make an additional contribution to the overall relaxation rate.
