7.2 Chemistry 263Fig. 7.55 Snapshots of the dynamics for D = 2, 3, 4. The D = 2 snapshots correspond to thesquare lattice itself. The D = 3, 4 snapshots correspond to a two-dimensional section of theD-dimensional lattice (from [580]).with the roughness of the overall contour of the system and of its internal evolvingclusters remain to be studied.7.2.3 Re-Association in Folded ProteinsRe-association of CO molecules in heme-proteins has been experimentally studied,and the results are discussed in [282]. See Figs. 7.58 and 7.59. The rate ξ ofnon-re-associated molecules was proposed in the literature to be given byξ ≡ N(t)N(0) = 1(1 + t/t 0 ) n . (7.23)But, with the identifications n ≡ 1/(q − 1) and 1/t 0 ≡ (q − 1)/τ, this equationcan be rewritten asξ = e −t/τq . (7.24)
