Towards a single-molecule FRET study of Frauenfelder's nonexponential rebinding of CO in myoglobin
Early time-resolved experiments by Frauenfelder on the ensemble of the kinetic rebinding of CO to myoglobin molecules resulted in a stretched exponential relaxa-tion due to a very large spread of the reaction rates of individual molecules.
