Abstract

Kinetic terahertz absorption (KITA) uses a picosecond-duration terahertz pulse to monitor directly changes in solvent dynamics during molecular self-assembly on a reaction time scale of milliseconds to seconds. In their Communication on page 6486 ff., M. Gruebele and co-workers describe the application of this method to investigate the reorganization of solvent water during the folding of a protein (in this case ubiquitin).
