The catalytic activity of proteins is a function of structural changes. Very often these are as
minute as protonation changes, hydrogen bonding changes, and amino acid side chain …

Time resolved infrared spectroscopy of biological molecules has provided a wealth of
information relating to structural dynamics, conformational changes, solvation and …

Time-resolved infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a widely used technique in the investigation of
photoinduced reactions, given its capabilities of providing structural information about the …

Abstract Time-resolved (TR) infrared (IR) spectroscopy in the nanosecond to second
timescale has been extensively used, in the last 30 years, in the study of photosynthetic …

Photosystem II is crucial for life on Earth as it provides oxygen as a result of photoinduced
electron transfer and water splitting reactions. The excited state dynamics of the …

Application of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) enables new possibilities for protein analysis
by mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy. These new possibilities mainly trace back to the …

Learning nature's approach to modulate photophysical properties of NIR porphyrinoids by
fine-tuning β-substituents including the number and position, in a manner similar to naturally …

To study the role of infrared (IR) radiation in the color change of the grape berry, field
screening (IR−) and in vitro culture irradiation (IR+) were used. Acylated anthocyanin …

We characterize the intensity noise of two mid-infrared (MIR) ultrafast tunable (3.5-11 μm)
sources based on difference frequency generation (DFG). While both sources are pumped …

Abstract The photosynthetic Reaction Center (RC) from the purple bacterium Rhodobacter
sphaeroides has unique photoconversion capabilities, that can be exploited in assembly …
