Nanosecond responses of proteins to ultra-high temperature pulses.

Observations of fast unfolding events in proteins are typically restricted to <100 degrees C. We use a novel apparatus to heat and cool enzymes within tens of nanoseconds to temperatures well in excess of the boiling point. The nanosecond temperature spikes are too fast to allow water to boil...
