A faster, better way to ID a protein inside your cells A new technology, expected to lead to the development of a powerful new tool for analyzing the inner workings of a single one of your cells, uses an ultra short pulse of infra-red laser light to cause a vibration in one part of a protein molecule. The researchers then track the movement of energy from this vibration as it moves through the protein, building up an energy flow map of the protein which enables them to identify what kind of protein it is ...
