The first step toward understanding most of the chemical and biological processes in
condensed phases is to accurately describe solute− solvent interaction energy and to …

Vibrational spectroscopy provides a direct route to the physicochemical characterization of
molecules. While both IR and Raman spectroscopy have been used for decades to provide …

Much work has been done in the past decade to quantify the phenomenon of allosteric
communication in proteins. Every new study unveils an extra piece of the puzzle in our …

Energy transport in molecules is essential for many areas of science and technology. Strong
covalent bonds of a molecular backbone can facilitate the involvement of the molecule's …

This review presents an overview of the relaxation-assisted two-dimensional infrared (RA
2DIR) spectroscopy method for measuring structures and energy transport dynamics in …

Vibrational energy exchange between various degrees of freedom is critical to barrier-
crossing processes in proteins. Hemeproteins are well suited for studying vibrational energy …

Allosteric interactions in proteins generally involve propagation of local structural changes
through the protein to a remote site. Anisotropic energy transport is thought to couple the …

Vibrational energy transfer is a critical step of molecular reaction dynamics. 1–5 In
condensed phases, whenever a molecular bond is broken, formed, or changed into other …

Recent progress in transient infrared spectroscopy has made it possible to monitor the
transient flow of vibrational energy along a peptide helix [V. Botan et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci …

A series of azido-PEG-succinimide ester oligomers with a number of repeating PEG units of
0, 4, 8, and 12 (azPEG0, 4, 8, and 12) was investigated using a relaxation-assisted two …
