Ultrafast myoglobin structural dynamics observed with an X-ray free-electron laser
Light absorption can trigger biologically relevant protein conformational changes. The light-induced structural rearrangement at the level of a photoexcited chromophore is known to occur in the femtosecond timescale and is expected to propagate through the protein as a quake-like intramolecular motion. Here we report direct experimental evidence of such 'proteinquake' observed in myoglobin thro...
متن کاملDouble-core-hole spectroscopy for chemical analysis with an intense X-ray femtosecond laser.
Theory predicts that double-core-hole (DCH) spectroscopy can provide a new powerful means of differentiating between similar chemical systems with a sensitivity not hitherto possible. Although DCH ionization on a single site in molecules was recently measured with double- and single-photon absorption, double-core holes with single vacancies on two different sites, allowing unambiguous chemical ...
متن کاملThreshold Evaluations for an X-ray Laser
Photoelectric pumping of inner shells of intermediate Z materials is shown to be efficient for inverting the population ot" radiative transitions around 1 keV. Non-radiative processes are shown to be essential for achieving a stationdry inversion. Reported intense X-ray bursts from plasmas generated by laser radiation suggest the use of a Nd laser as exciting source. Threshold evaluations show ...

متن کاملQuantum effects with an x-ray free-electron laser.
A quantum kinetic equation coupled with Maxwell's equation is used to estimate the laser power required at an x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) facility to expose intrinsically quantum effects in the process of QED vacuum decay via spontaneous pair production. A 9 -TW-peak XFEL laser with photon energy of 8.3 keV could be sufficient to initiate particle accumulation and the consequent formation ...
