Temporally and Spatially Resolved Molecular Science: Faraday Discussion 177 - Faraday Discussions

---

Marc Notes: Bringing together world experts in computational, crystallographic, spectroscopic, chemical, biological and numerous characterisation methods, this title will promote new interdisciplinary research and complementary approaches and techniques in the rapidly emerging areas of 'time resolved studies', leading to a greater overall understanding of structural dynamics. Biographical Note: Faraday Discussions documents a long-established series of Faraday Discussion meetings which provide a unique international forum for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The papers presented are published in the Faraday Discussion volume together with a record of the discussion contributions made at the meeting. Faraday Discussions therefore provide an important record of current international knowledge and views in the field concerned. The latest (2012) impact factor of Faraday Discussions is 3.82. Jacket Description/Back: This volume focuses on a coordinated approach of complementary methods to offer new opportunities and exciting challenges in structural science based on the modern generation of synchrotrons and powerful free electron lasers (X-FEL). Recently crystallography and spectroscopy have reached a level of experimental sophistication and theoretical and computational advancements such that it is possible to understand the structure of even the most complex molecular systems, such as, proteins. One community derives information from average atomic charge densities from X-ray data and the other from valence orbital electron densities based on vibrational spectroscopy data. We are constantly improving technical and computational methods to accelerate and automate characterisation processes and this is crucial to the fields explored in this meeting. Topics covered in this volume include: Dynamics of the Chemical Bond Time and Space Resolved Methods Local and Global Dynamics Future Challenges and Emerging Techniques
