Abstract

Self-trapped states in proteins were studied. The temperature dependence of the amide-I band of myoglobin showed evidence for a low lying self-trapped state at 1626 cm-1. The low-lying state have a 30 ps lifetime at 50 K, much longer than the relaxation time of the main amide-I band at 50 K.
