Expérimental Description
The purpose of the proposed project is to apply multiscale pump-probe spectroscopy to monitor the motion of a carbon-monoxide ligand inside hemoglobin over the entire biologically-relevant timescale, in order to understand the key role of the protein structure in its functions. The project will benefit from unique methods we recently developed, including high-resolution mid-infrared femtosecond spectroscopy and the ability to control the pump-probe delay up to milliseconds.
