The phenomenon of spin-crossover has a large impact on the physical properties of a solid
material, including its colour, magnetic moment, and electrical resistance. Some materials …

The 6th edition of this classic comprises the most comprehensive guide to infrared and
Raman spectra of inorganic, organometallic, bioinorganic, and coordination compounds …

Computational modeling can provide a wealth of insight into how energy flow in proteins
mediates protein function. Computational methods can also address fundamental questions …

Cytochrome c (Cyt c) is a heme protein involved in electron transfer and also in apoptosis. Its
heme iron is bisaxially ligated to histidine and methionine side chains and both ferric and …

The development of functional artificial photosynthetic devices relies on the understanding
