PICS Colloquium: “From Molecular Vibrations to Solvation, Protein Dynamics and Models of the Cytoplasm”
PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PAAbstract: Vibrational spectroscopies at mid-infrared frequencies provide excellent probes to characterize functional groups and their immediate chemical environment. However, from a thermodynamic and dynamic point of view, only the ground state of these vibrations is significantly populated. Most of the “jiggling and wiggling” of atoms and molecules (referred to in the famous quote by Feynman) […]
