Vibrational energy relaxation in proteins.
An overview of theories related to vibrational energy relaxation (VER) in proteins is presented. VER of a selected mode in cytochrome c is studied by using two theoretical approaches. One approach is the equilibrium simulation approach with quantum correction factors, and the other is the reduced model approach, which describes the protein as an ensemble of normal modes interacting through nonl...
متن کاملProbing vibrational energy relaxation in proteins using normal modes
Vibrational energy relaxation (VER) of a selected mode in cytochrome c (hemeprotein) in vacuum is studied using two theoretical approaches: One is the equilibrium simulation approach with quantum correction factors, and the other is the reduced model approach which describes the protein as an ensemble of normal modes coupled with nonlinear coupling elements. Both methods result in estimates of ...
متن کاملRelaxation of vibrational energy in fullerene suspensions
Picosecond transient absorption is used to measure the thermal decay time of a mixture of higher-order fullerenes suspended in chloroform, toluene, and carbon disulfide. The relaxation time is 40 ps, which translates into a small effective interface conductance, G 14 MWm 2 K . Molecular dynamics simulations of a fullerene molecule suspended in octane agree with experiment (G 10 MWm 2 K ) and su...
متن کاملVibrational and Rotational Energy Relaxation in Liquids
Vibrational and rotational energy relaxation in liquids are studied by means of computer simulations. As a precursor for studying vibrational energy relaxation of a solute molecule subsequent to the formation of a chemical bond, the validity of the classical Bersohn-Zewail model for describing the intramolecular dynamics during photodissociation is investigated. The apparent agreement with quan...
متن کاملNonperturbative vibrational energy relaxation effects on vibrational line shapes.
A general formulation of nonperturbative quantum dynamics of solutes in a condensed phase is proposed to calculate linear and nonlinear vibrational line shapes. In the weak solute-solvent interaction limit, the temporal absorption profile can be approximately factorized into the population relaxation profile from the off-diagonal coupling and the pure-dephasing profile from the diagonal couplin...
