In this work we report the thermal behaviour of the amide I′ band of carbonmonoxy and deoxy hemoglobin in 65% v/v glycerolD8/D2O solutions and in the temperature interval 10–295 K. Following recent suggestions in the literature, we analyze the amide I′ band in terms of two components, one at about 1630 cm−1 and the other at about 1650 cm−1, that are assigned to solvent‒exposed and buried α‒helical regions, respectively.
