Molecular Science - Spectroscopy and Simulation
... looks into questions such as ...
- How can laser-spectroscopic and microscopic methods optimally contribute to the in-depth understanding of chemical reactions and biological processes?
- Does water, as the “matrix of life”, play an active role in protein folding or in enzymatic reactions (e.g. relevant for the causes of Alzheimer’s disease)?
- Can we improve chemical reactions by choosing the proper solvent?
- What is the microscopic origin of macroscopic properties of liquids?
- How fast are chemical reactions happening on a microscopic perspective?
