“…26) provide strong support for the two-step quaternary transition predicted by the calculations (see Fig. 2); in the R to T direction, the early large quaternary change Q2 would correspond to the 2-μs step, whereas the smaller late quaternary change Q1 and some tertiary changes would correspond to the 20-μs step.…”

“…The overall C2 symmetry of the αβ-dimers is preserved, but the α-and β-subunits behave very differently. These results provide an unsuspected pathway of the allosteric transition of hemoglobin and serve to explain some recent experiments on the R to T transition after photodissociation (23)(24)(25)(26). Although the calculations were essentially completed and most of the manuscript was written by 2000, a crucial experiment (23) validating the results was published only in 2010.…”

“…These have been called the "hinge" and "switch" contacts (Figure 1), the hinge involving a reorientation, and the switch involving an altered interdigitation of the contacting side chains. 4 Wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) measurements 27 indicate that the main structural rearrangement occurs during the first quaternary phase, at ∼2 μs (see ref 28 for a synopsis of these experimental developments). The finding of two quaternary steps strikingly supports a new computational result from Karplus and co-workers, 29 who applied the conjugate peak refinement (CPR) method 30 to find the minimum-energy pathway of the T-R transformation.…”

“…The studies using TA spectroscopy in the 1970s and 1980s suggested that the decaying kinetics at several tens of ms is due to the R-T transition because the TA spectrum corresponding to that time scale is very similar to the difference spectrum between the absorption spectra of the R and T states. 4,11,12,20 According to this assignment, the hinge contact was made within a few ms and then the switch contact was formed within tens of ms. 2 Later, other studies using TA spectroscopy, singular value decomposition (SVD) and kinetic modelling suggested that the fast relaxation occurring within a few ms could also be related to the R-T transition although the slow dynamics at the tens of ms time scale was interpreted as the major quaternary structural change due to the R-T transition.…”

“…On the other hand, in the studies using TR-UVRR spectroscopy, the biphasic structural changes of the hydrogen bonds in the dimer-dimer interface, which are known as the hinge contact and switch contact formations, respectively, were observed and assigned to the R-T transition. 4,11,12,20 According to this assignment, the hinge contact was made within a few ms and then the switch contact was formed within tens of ms. Recently, the studies using TR-WAXS technique, which can monitor the conformational changes of various biomolecules occurring in the solution phase, 5,6,15,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] revealed that the significant scattering signal change was observed mainly at a few ms time scale and assigned to the R-T transition.…”
