Scientists Use Infrared Laser to Study Molecular Reactions in Living Cells

Our cells’ molecules form an intricate network of interactions. Today’s techniques, however, can only be used to measure individual molecular reactions outside the cells. Since molecular concentrations are much higher in cells than in the laboratory, scientists suspect that the kinetics of molecular reactions in living cells differ substantially from external probes. „We expected the cellular reaction speed to be higher,” confirms LMU biophysicist Professor Dieter Braun.
