Resonance Raman Studies of Electron-Nuclear Coupling: Time Resolved Dynamics, and Magnetic Perturbations of Biomolecules

钱皮恩博士将使用共振拉曼和瑞利散射技术来探测生物分子（如血红素和铁硫蛋白）的电子和核结构/功能关系。他希望能更好地理解这些分子的共振光散射特性，并应用这些知识来阐明它们的作用机制。相关的技术，如电子吸收光谱，也将被使用，并将建立联系各种实验测量的理论关系。这项工作的意义不仅在于它与生物科学的关系，而且在于它与理解基本光-物质相互作用的联系。

Dr. Champion will use resonance Raman and Rayleigh scattering techniques to probe the electronic and nuclear structure/function relationships of biological molecules such as the heme and iron sulfur proteins. He hopes to achieve a better understanding of the resonant light scattering properties of these molecules and to apply this knowledge to the elucidation of their mechanism of action. Related techniques, such as electronic absorption spectroscopy, will also be used and theoretical relationships that link a variety of experimental measurements will be developed. This work is significant not only in its relationship to biological science but also in its connection to the understanding of basic light-matter interactions.
