Observation of Terahertz Vibrations in Pyrococcus Furiosus Rubredoxin
Via Impulsive Coherent Vibrational Spectroscopy and Nuclear Resonance Vibrational Spectroscopy – Interpretation by Molecular Mechanics

Abstract

The research described in this product was performed in part in the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a national scientific user facility sponsored by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research and located at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. We have used impulsive coherent vibrational spectroscopy (ICVS) to study the Fe(S-Cys)4 site in oxidized rubredoxin (Rd) from Pyrococcus furiosus (Pf). In this experiment, a 15 fs visible laser pulse is used to coherently pump the sample to an excited electronic state, and a second
