Sperm whale myoglobin (swMb) is a well-studied heme protein, both experimentally and theoretically. Comparatively, little attention has been paid to another member of Mb family, Aplysia limacina myoglobin (apMb). swMb and apMb have the same overall structure and perform the same biological function, i.e., O 2 carrier, while using a distinct heme active site. To provide insights into the structure-function relationship for these two Mbs, we herein made a comparison in terms of their dynamics properties using molecular dynamics simulation. We ana...
