The structure–function relationship is at the heart of biology, and major protein deformations are correlated to specific functions. For ferrous heme proteins, doming is associated with the respiratory function in hemoglobin and myoglobins. Cytochromec(Cyt c) has evolved to become an important electron-transfer protein in humans. In its ferrous form, it undergoes ligand release and doming upon photoexcitation, but its ferric form does not release the distal ligand, while the return to the ground state has been attributed to thermal relaxation. Here, by combining femtosecond Fe Kαand KβX-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) with Fe K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), we demonstrate that the photocycle of ferric Cyt c is entirely due to a cascade among excited spin states of the iron ion, causing the ferric heme to undergo doming, which we identify. We also argue that this pattern is common to a wide diversity of ferric heme proteins, raising the question of the biological relevance of doming in such proteins.

Mono and bis iron(11) complexes of 2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)thiazole have been described. Conductivity and visible and infrared spectral data suggest that the mono complexes are five-coordinate. The magnetism of the bis complexes, in contrast to that of the mono complexes, shows unusual temperature dependence. This has been ascribed to the presence, in the bis complexes, of a spin-state equilibrium. Bis[2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)thiazole]cobalt(11) perchlorate has been shown to be a simple paramagnetic compound.
