This review paper presents the recent advances made in observing and understanding the
ultrafast photo-reaction dynamics in retinal proteins, in particular bacteriorhodopsin (bR) …

The branching ratio of the excited-state population at the conical intersection between the
S1 and S0 energy surfaces (ΦCI) of a protonated Schiff base of all-trans retinal in protic and …

We use the full multiple spawning (FMS) dynamics approach with a hybrid quantum
mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) reparameterized semiempirical method to …

The photophysical behaviour of the isolated retinal protonated n-butylamine Schiff base
(RPSB) is investigated in the gas phase using a combination of ion mobility spectrometry …

Photoisomerization involving a conical intersection (CI) for a model protonated Schiff base
(PSB) in modeled water and acetonitrile solvents is examined with the inclusion of energy …

The photoinduced excited state dynamics of gas-phase trans-retinoate (deprotonated trans-
retinoic acid, trans-RA−) are studied using tandem ion mobility spectrometry coupled with …

We apply spectrally-resolved pump degenerate four-wave-mixing for the characterization of
excited state low-frequency vibrational coherences during the initial events in excited state …

The photoisomerization of the all-trans protonated Schiff base of retinal (SBR+) in solution is
highly inefficient. The present theoretical and experimental investigation aims at disclosing …

We report on vibrational coherence dynamics in excited and ground electronic states of all-
transretinal protonated Schiff-bases (RPSB), investigated by time-resolved Degenerate Four …

The fragmentation, initiated by photoexcitation as well as collisionally-induced excitation, of
several retinal chromophores was studied in the gas phase. The chromophore in the …
