To better understand the complex photophysics of the amino acid tryptophan, which is widely used as a probe of protein structure and dynamics, we have measured electronic spectra of protonated, gas-phase tryptophan solvated with a controlled number of wate ...
The optical properties of small noble metal clusters have been studied by absorption and fluorescence for sizes between 1 and 10 atoms. The experimental technique consists in depositing size-selected clusters in a neon matrix and analyzing with a spectrome ...
Quantum chemical methods are important tools for the predictions of electronic structure and energetics of molecules providing the interpretation of spectroscopic experiments and reaction mechanisms. In this thesis, density functional theory (DFT) and wave ...
The excited-state dynamics of covalently linked electron donor−acceptor systems consisting of N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) as electron donor and either perylene (Pe) or cyanoperylene (CNPe) as acceptor has been investigated in a large variety of solvents, inc ...
The absorption of light by a gas molecule has been measured comparatively using light propagating in normal conditions and in a slow light regime. The experiment is designed to make the 2 measurements possible without modifying the interaction conditions, ...
PTPA, an essential and specific activator of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), functions as a peptidyl prolyl isomerase (PPIase). We present here the crystal structures of human PTPA and of the two yeast orthologs (Ypa1 and Ypa2), revealing an all α-helical p ...
Ultra-high-resolution spectroscopic studies have been performed to elucidate the conformational landscape of the succinamide-based thread 1 that is frequently employed in mechanically interlocked molecular assemblies. We show how dissolving single molecule ...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely accepted as the carriers of the Aromatic Infrared Bands (AIBs), but an unambiguous identification of any specific interstellar PAH is still missing. For polar PAHs, pure rotational transitions can be used ...
Spectrum sensing is one of the enabling functionalities for cognitive radio (CR) systems to operate in the spectrum white space. To protect the primary incumbent users from interference, the CR is required to detect incumbent signals at very low signal-to- ...
Because of the importance of helices in the secondary structure of proteins, we have undertaken a study of their spectroscopy, fragmentation patterns and conformations in the gas phase. In this work, we describe the effects of substitution at the N-terminu ...
