Abstract

Stimulated emission from excited bacteriorhodopsin is compared with that from isomerize. Ultrafast Stokes shifting of emission, and coherent vibrations in the excited state are observed in both for the first time. Biological relevance of coherent motions is tested by comparing to similar motions in free protonated Sciff base (PSB) of retinal.
