Time-resolved methods in biophysics. 5. Femtosecond time-resolved and dispersed infrared spectroscopy on proteins

Marie Louise Groot, Luuk J. G. W. van Wilderen and Mariangela Di Donato


In this contribution we describe how femtosecond time-resolved infrared spectroscopy provides insight into the function and dynamics of pigment–protein complexes, and what the technical requirements are to perform such experiments. We further discuss a few examples of experiments performed on the photoactive yellow protein and photosynthetic complexes in more detail.
