Figure 2 -Carbon difference distance matrices comparing the CO-bound `laser off' and 3.16 µs time-point models with deoxy-Mb. -Carbon difference distance matrices were made by comparing the CO-bound `laser off' and 3.16 µs model C^ atoms to deoxy-Mb C^ atoms (PDB code [207]1moa ). The gray boxes correspond to the eight Mb helices and values are -1 Å (brightest red) to 0 Å (white) to +1 Å (brightest blue). (a) is the C^ [208][alpha] difference distance matrix of (deoxy-Mb) - (CO-bound `laser off' Mb). (b) is the C^ [209][alpha] difference distance matrix of (deoxy-Mb) - (3.16 µs Mb).
