Revealing the role of excited state nuclear coherence in the photoisomerisation of bacteriorhodopsin by population assisted impulsive Raman

The 13-cis to all-trans photoisomerisation of the retinal chromophore in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is a prototypical ultrafast isomerisation process[1]. Within the protein, the reaction is faster, more efficient and more specific than in solution. This variation of chemical reactivity and specificity h...
