The green fluorescent protein (GFP) of the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria has attracted widespread interest since discovery that its chromophore is generated by autocatalytic, posttranslational cyclization and oxidation a hexapeptide unit. This permits fusion DNA sequence GFP with any whose expression or transport can then be readily monitored sensitive fluorescence methods without need to add exogenous dyes. excited state dynamics were studied following photo-excitation each two strong...
Light-absorbing plasmonic nanostructures are used in a variety of applications, including photocatalysis and sensing. Because structure is intricately linked to function performance, it essential understand how the structures these materials might evolve under light excitation what types atomic natures structural transformations. Using transmission electron microscope equipped with capability laser specimen, we monitored Au–Cu alloy nanoparticles excitation. Plasmonic was found induce...
Electrochemical reactivity is known to be dictated by the structure and composition of electrocatalyst-electrolyte interface. Here, we show that optically generated electric fields at this interface can influence electrochemical insofar as completely switch reaction selectivity. We study an electrocatalyst composed gold-copper alloy nanoparticles active toward reduction CO
