How to count the messenger out
(26 Aug 2010)
Mapping the structure of protonated water clusters
Water molecules are continuously forming short-lived networks called clusters. These can in turn bind positively charged protons, and such clusters can provide active functional groups in proteins. Using infrared spectroscopy, it is possible to ......
