Nominator's project description
| Molecule dynamics - mainspring of chemistry and biology Elementary vital functions, chemical reactions, the behaviour of substances in our environment - the driving force behind all of these phenomena is the movement of molecules. Molecules interact and change their structure, sometimes slowly, sometimes at incredible speed. Jens Bredenbeck is developing new measuring techniques which can keep up with the molecules' pace. Multidimensional infrared spectroscopy is the name given to the method which measures molecular motion with ultrashort infrared laser pulses. This molecular motion detector should help us to understand what important processes on the molecular level look like in real time, such as how biomolecules fold themselves into the right structure and how they fulfil their vitally important tasks. |
