Attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy allows precise control of external parameters vital for proper functioning of biological matter. For the first time in biospectroscopy, ATR difference spectroscopy has been combined with the step-scan technique. The current setup integrates a broad frequency range (800–25,000 cm−1) with high temporal resolution (5 μs). Vibrations are detected that arise from single amino acids (<10−3 absorbance units) of the chromoprotein bacteriorhodopsin. Time-resolved ATR/FT-IR difference spectra are compared with conventional transmission spectra. The high mirror stability enables time-resolved FT-vis spectroscopy of the same sample with the same instrument. Potential applications even to non-light-absorbing biomaterial are discussed.

Rapid-scan FTIR difference spectroscopy was used to investigate light-induced reduction of the ubiquinone QB, and the oxidation kinetics of QB–and QH2by external mediators in isolated reaction centers (RCs) fromR. sphaeroides. As redox mediators, a Ferrocyanide/N,N,Nʹ,Nʹ-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) mixture and an Ascorbate/2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DAD) mixture are compared.Results show that TMPDredrapidly reduces the photoproduced P870+primary donor. The process is fast enough to record rapid-scan FTIR spectra devoid of P870+bands down to 260 K. Results show also that TMPDoxoxidises both QB–and QH2faster than DADox. In particular, QB–is oxidised faster than QH2at all temperatures studied.Results are discussed in the framework of time-resolved infrared studies onR. sphaeroidesRCs, showing advantages/drawbacks of the proposed experimental approach.

We have directly observed the <i>in situ</i> self-assembly kinetics of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles by synchrotron time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, equipped with a stopped-flow device that provides millisecond temporal resolution. This work has elucidated one general kinetic pathway for the process of PEC micelle formation, which provides useful physical insights for increasing our fundamental understanding of complexation and self-assembly dynamics driven by electrostatic interactions that occur on ultrafast timescales.
