SUMMARY:Two Dimensional Coherent Infra-Red Spectroscopy for the measuremen
 t of vibration-vibration coupling\, and its application to the study of pr
 otein composition\, dynamics\, structure and function - Prof David Klug\,

DESCRIPTION:Optical spectroscopy is going through a revolution akin to tha
 t which\noccurred in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in the 1970's. The ability
  to\nproduce tunable femtosecond and picosecond optical pulses in the\ninf
 ra-red allows the measurement of vibrational coupling in a reliable\nand r
 igorous fashion. This class of spectroscopy has become known as two\ndimen
 sional infra-red spectroscopy or 2DIR. Multipulse measurements\ncombined w
 ith quantum mechanical calculations allow reliable\ninterpretation of such
  data which in turn allows these methods to be\nusefully applied to the st
 udy of a wide range of soft condensed matter.\nIn particular these methods
  show great promise for the study of proteins\nand a number of application
 s are suggested and illustrated ranging from\nproteomic screening through 
 ultrafast dynamics to structural analysis.
