Synergistic Charge Transfer Effect in Ferrous Heme–CO Bonding within Cytochrome P450

We conducted ab initio valence bond (VB) calculations employing the valence bond self-consistent field (VBSCF) and breathing orbital valence bond (BOVB) methods to investigate the nature of the coordination bonding between ferrous heme and carbon monoxide (CO) within cytochrome P450. These calculati...
