The ultrafast evolution of the electric field within bacteriorhodopsin was measured by monitoring the absorption changes of a tryptophan residue after excitation of retinal. The Trp absorption decreases within the first 200 femtoseconds and then recovers o ...
A visible-pump/UV-probe transient absorption is used to characterize the ultrafast dynamics of bacteriorhodopsin with 80-fs time resoln. We identify three spectral components in the 265- to 310-nm region, related to the all-trans retinal, tryptophan (Trp)- ...
This paper reports the continuation of the authors' work in the field of linear and rotary submicrometric positioning using electrostatic glass motors. Electrostatic glass motors, a recent development where a glass rotor, once polarized using a static elec ...
Photo-induced excited-state reactions stand in the center of function of the photosensitive biological systems. These reactions can be accompanied by structural changes of the chromophore (for example isomerization) which are influenced by the nearest envi ...
A scheme is proposed for calcg. electrostatic potential (ESP) derived charges from mixed quantum mechanics/ mol. mechanics (QM/MM) mol. dynamics simulations. These charges are fitted to the electrostatic field due to the quantum charge d. evaluated on the ...
The spectrally and temporally resolved fluorescence properties of native bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and bR reconstituted with a nonisomerizing analog of the retinal Schiff base (bR5.12) are examd. The first attempt to exptl. monitor the excited state relaxatio ...
The structure and dynamics of the retinal chromophore of rhodopsin are investigated systematically in different environments (vacuum, methanol soln., and protein binding pocket) and with different computational approaches (classical, quantum, and hybrid qu ...
We present a comparative study of the ultrafast photophysics of all-trans retinal in the protonated Schiff base form in solvents with different polarities and viscosities. Steady-state spectra of retinal in the protonated Schiff base form show large absorp ...
The environment is important for the exact course of a chemical reaction. As an example of the strong influence of the environment on the reaction, this work studies the isomerization reaction of the chromophore retinal in the binding pocket of the protein ...
Excitons and trions in a CdTe modulation-doped quantum well are investigated by picosecond three-pulse four-wave mixing experiments as a function of temperature in the low-density regime. We show that trions are mobile for high enough temperatures. The dif ...
