Abstract
Quasistatic and kinetic studies of the infrared CO stretch bands of carbonmonoxymyoglobin show that proteins and glasses share essential characteristics, in particular metastability below a transition temperature and relaxation processes that are nonexponential in time and non-Arrhenius in temperature.Keywords
