Chong Fang publishes "Mapping GFP structure evolution during proton transfer with femtosecond Raman spectroscopy" in Nature.

Using Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy, a technique developed in this group, the researchers have elucidated the reason for GFP's high florescence.

The Raman Group uses laser spectroscopic techniques including resonance Raman spectroscopy and Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (FSRS) to study chemical and biological reaction dynamics with a particular focus on the mechanism of photoactive proteins and condensed phase chemical reaction dynamics.

Recent projects include:

Group Meetings are held every Wednesday at 5:00 PM in 425 Latimer.

Generally, each member of the group will present new data and new ideas related to their project each week. Occasionally, more in-depth presentations on one particular subject will be given. Give us a call (510-642-9202) to find out what's being discussed this week. See you there!
