摘要
The relevant excited states in the rapid photodissociation process of hemoglobin and myoglobin are examined by means of time-dependent density functional theory. Our calculations clearly show that the photodissociation is mediated by two repulsive states (5 A- and 3 A-) which cross the lowest excited states (1 A- and 1 A-) at an internuclear Fe-C distance of about 2 Å. Electron detachment/attachment density plots nicely explain the repulsive nature of the 5 A- and 3 A- states. Copyright © 2002 American Chemical Society.
