The ultrafast dynamics triggered by the photodetachment of the tyrosinate dianion in aqueous environment shed light on the elementary processes that accompany the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological matter. Photodetachment of the tryosinate dianion yields the tyrosyl radical anion, an important intermediate in biological redox reactions, although the study of its ultrafast dynamics is limited. Here, we utilize femtosecond optical pump–probe spectroscopy to investigate the ultrafast structural reorganization dynamics that follow the photodetachment of the tyrosinate dianion in aqueous solution. Photodetachment of the tyrosinate dianion leads to vibrational wave packet motion along seven vibrational modes that are coupled to the photodetachment process. The vibrational modes are assigned with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our results offer a glimpse of the elementary dynamics of ionized biomolecules and suggest the possibility of extending this approach to investigate the ionization-induced structural rearrangement of other aromatic amino acids and larger biomolecules.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
