Gh. Atkinson et al., Reactive intermediates in the room temperature rhodopsin photo-reactions: Picosecond time-resolved cars, LASER CHEM, 19(1-4), 1999, pp. 127-132
The vibrational spectra of the bathe and lumi intermediates in the room-tem
perature rhodopsin photo-reaction are measured by picosecond time-resolved
coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (PTR/CARS). The instrumental princi
ples underlying PTR/CARS together with I:he advantages of PTR/CARS applicat
ions in protein reactions are discussed.
