Reorientational dynamics of amino acids in aqueous solution probed by ultrafast optical kerr effect spectroscopy

Reorientational relaxation of a solute in aqueous solution reflects the friction from its surroundings, yet observing this rotational motion solute by solute at the microscopic level is difficult. Ultrafast optical Kerr effect (OKE) spectroscopy can follow molecular reorientation...
