Ultrafast 2-D Vibrational Echo Experiments with Applications in Chemistry and Biology

Ultrafast 2D-IR vibrational echo experiments are akin to 2D NMR but operate on time scales 6 to 10 orders of magnitude faster than NMR. The method is illustrated with chemical exchange experiments that directly observe solute-solvent complex formation and dissociation, as well as isomerization around a carbon-carbon single bond. Experiments on proteins and enzymes measure structural dynamics and the influence of substrate binding on enzyme dynamics.
