Observation of coherent delocalized phonon-like modes in DNA under physiological conditions [PDF]
Underdamped terahertz-frequency delocalized phonon-like modes have long been suggested to play a role in the biological function of DNA. Such phonon modes involve the collective motion of many atoms and are prerequisite to understanding the molecular ...

Dissociative photoionization of NO across a shape resonance in the XUV range using circularly polarized synchrotron radiation. [PDF]
We report benchmark results for dissociative photoionization (DPI) spectroscopy and dynamics of the NO molecule in the region of the σ* shape resonance in the ionization leading to the NO+(c3Π) ionic state.

Comparative study of the vibrational optical activity techniques in structure elucidation : the case of galantamine [PDF]
The absolute configuration of the alkaloid galantamine was studied using a range of solution-state techniques; nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and Raman optical activity (ROA). While the combined use of NMR and VCD

Self-assembly, nematic phase formation and organocatalytic behaviour of a proline-functionalized lipopeptide [PDF]
The self-assembly of the amphiphilic lipopeptide PAEPKI-C16 (P = proline, A = alanine, E = glutamic acid, K = lysine, I = isoleucine, C16 = hexadecyl) was investigated using a combination of spectroscopic, microscopic and scattering methods and compared ...
