Imidazole binding to Heme



 Dear Netters:
 I am desperately looking for either theoretical or experimental
 information on the rate of imidazole binding by heme or heme peptide.  I
 am not aware of any work in this area since 1967 and any information you
 can provide will be very helpful.
 I am not interested in the interaction of imidazole with native
 proteins.
 Cheers
 -raman
