Deskripsi

Vibrational energy relaxation of proteins helps us to understand ultrafast protein dynamics. Here, the authors determine the vibrational energy transfer time of the amide I mode in aqueous environment and find that water provides a “shortcut” through a direct resonant channel to dissipate energy into the solvent.
