Abstract
⺠The natural tendency of the heme is to be planar. ⺠Several factors are responsible for the strong structural distortion in H-NOX. ⺠The polar residues play major roles in distorting the heme structure. ⺠The dispersion correction greatly improves the calculated structures. ⺠The different heme conformations in H-NOX and Mb are reproduced by the calculation.
