Spectroscopy: Molecular motion pictures
Minhaeng Cho1
Abstract
Molecules in solution change their conformations so quickly that no method has been able to record the process. This looks set to change, as infrared spectroscopy rises to the challenge.
The science of high-speed photography was created by Eadweard Muybridge in 1887, when he published his famous photographic sequence of a galloping racehorse. Scientists have since sought analogous microscopic and spectroscopic techniques to enable them to watch the motion of biological molecules in real time.
