Plant cells, tissues and organs are composed of various biomolecules arranged as
structurally diverse units, which represent heterogeneity at microscopic levels. Molecular …

It has long been axiomatic that a protein's structure determines its function. Intrinsically
disordered proteins (IDPs) and disordered protein regions (IDRs) defy this structure …

IR spectroscopy is an excellent method for biological analyses. It enables the
nonperturbative, label-free extraction of biochemical information and images toward …

Characterizing and ultimately controlling the heterogeneity underlying biomolecular
functions, quantum behavior of complex matter, photonic materials, or catalysis requires …

The ability to obtain a molecular-level understanding of the chemistry that takes place at
liquid/solid interfaces is key to the development and improvement of many chemical and …

From the perspective of a chemist, biology confers a rich variety of roles on a number of
metal ions. It is widely agreed that a large fraction of the genomic output of living things …

Since the middle of 20th century infrared (IR) spectroscopy coupled to microscopy (IR
microspectroscopy) has been recognized as a non destructive, label free, highly sensitive …

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) imaging and microspectroscopy have been extensively
applied to the analyses of tissues in health and disease. Spatially resolved mid-IR data has …

Conventional Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopic systems are limited by an
inevitable trade-off between spatial resolution, acquisition time, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) …

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of intact cells results in a fingerprint of their biochemistry in the
form of an IR spectrum; this has given rise to the new field of biospectroscopy. This protocol …
