Article Abstract
We report on a 100-kHz two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectrometer in the pump-probe geometry, which we apply to the measurement of the 2DIR spectrum of carboxyhemoglobin. The probe pulses are spectrally resolved by chirped-pulse upconversion (CPU) using a fast 2048-pixel line scan CMOS camera. The two-pulse pump sequence is generated using a conventional interferometer with a fast-scanning mechanical delay line allowing to achieve a scanning frequency of 2 Hz. The resulting modulation frequency of 3.1 kHz is large enough to shift the relevant signal away from the low-frequency noise of the laser source. The combined use of an interferometer on the pump side and of CPU on the probe side opens the way to an improved spectral resolution in both pump and probe dimensions, as compared to currently available 100-kHz 2DIR spectrometers based on pulse shapers and mercury-cadmium telluride detector arrays.

Transition of Structurally Distinct Amyloids in the Degradation of Protein Materials.

Amyloid materials are formed from the aggregation of single proteins, yet contain polymorphisms where bulk properties are defined by a composition of multiple fibril types. Though desirable as a sustainable material, little is known about how various fibril types survive at high temperatures or in nonpolar solvents due to their highly similar molecular and nanoscale features. Here, we demonstrate that in situ two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2DIR), when paired with nanoscale microscopy, can determine the transition temperature of amyloid subpopulations without the use of labels.

Bimorph soft actuators, traditionally composed of two materials with distinct responses to external stimuli, often face durability challenges due to structural incompatibility. Here, we propose an alternative design employing free-standing, isostructural heterogeneous Janus (IHJ) films that harmonize stability with high actuation efficiency. These IHJ films were fabricated through a vacuum self-assembly process, consisting of TiCT MXene nanosheets and hybrid graphene oxide (GO)-biomass bacterial cellulose (BC), with a well-matched two-dimensional lattice structure.

Water-ion interactions govern the physicochemical properties of aqueous solutions, impacting the structure of the hydrogen bonding network and ion diffusivities. To elucidate these effects under alkaline conditions relevant to diverse application spaces, we examined NaOD-DO solutions using two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Vibrational energy transfer between the donor anion SeCN, used as a 2D-IR probe, and the acceptor anion OD was used to track the average separation distance of ions in the DO solutions, while SAXS and NMR experiments measured the structure of the bulk DO solvent.

Against the backdrop of global carbon neutrality target driving the transformation of energy structure, alcohol fuel cells (AFCs) show great application potential; However, the sluggish kinetics of their anodic alcohol oxidation reaction hinders the commercialization of AFCs. Metallene is a novel 2D material with potential application prospect in the field of electrocatalysis. In this paper, PdMoW trimetallene has been successfully produced by a one-pot wet-chemical method, which displays a unique two-dimensional curved ultrathin graphene structure.

The pH Low Insertion Peptide (pHLIP), a cell-penetrating peptide, presents an ideal model to study peptide-membrane interactions across a range of conformational states. The folded, solvent-exposed unfolded, and membrane-inserted states of pHLIP have been well-characterized, but the intermediate structures remain poorly understood. Studies have focused on understanding folding and membrane interactions; however, there is a relation between the environment, membrane interactions, and local picosecond dynamics that has not been characterized.
