The kinetics of geminate recombination were studied for the methylisocyanide derivative of carp hemoglobin. Carp hemoglobin is of interest because it has been established that the fully liganded form switches between a high affinity R state at pH 9 and a low affinity T state at pH 6 in the presence of IHP. Geminate recombination was observed on both the picosecond and the nanosecond time scales under all conditions; however, only a small variation is observed in the rates and the yields of geminate recombination as the protein switches from the R to the T state. Taken together with overall "on" and "off" rates, the data indicate that the change from the R to the T configuration affects bond breaking most, but also influences subsequent escape from the protein as well as both entry into the protein and bond formation. There is some reason to postulate tertiary conformational change in the T state on the microsecond time scale following ligand escape from the protein.
