Abstract

Specific heat and dielectric constant of Metmyoglobin crystals at low temperatures are measured and found to be similar to those of amorphous dielectrics. This provides evidence for the existence of two level systems in the protein. Possibility of many conformational substates and the frozen in disorder in the protein is proposed as the origin of these excitations.
