| Summary: | Chemical reactions proceed on the complex potential energy surface (PES), which consists of a vast degree of freedom of nuclear coordinates for polyatomic molecular systems. For unraveling (and manipulating) the reaction coordinate and molecular mechanisms that underlie the reaction, it is desirable to map out the PES, which has been a long-lasting central subject in both experimental and theoretical chemistries. In this quest, understanding of the vibrational coupling between normal mode coordinates is essential, since it actually characterizes the complex shape of the PES. Here, we report fifth-order time-domain Raman spectroscopy of a bacterial photoreceptor, photoactive yellow protein (PYP), with the aim to visualize vibrational coupling in its reactive excited state. |
