Dynamics in haemoglobin from platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) and saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) were measured to investigate response of conformational motions on the picosecond time scale to naturally occurring variations in the amino acid sequence...
