Critical intermediates in the metabolism of abused drugs were identified using stopped-flow fluorescence polarization immunoassay (SF-FPIA). Other analytical methods such as stopped-flow FT-IR and mass spectrometry have also been applied to monitor rapid kinetics of protein folding and conformational change associated with catalysis. ... 

The kinetics of protein folding triggered by electron transfer in myoglobin and cytochrome b is much faster than in in cytochrome c. Upon reduction of the central iron ion, a-helices cluster around the heme forming, for example, a four-helix bundle. It appears that highly helical proteins have favorable energy landscapes for folding (Wolynes, 1996 Telford et al, 1998).
