Quantitative Mapping of Triacylglycerol Chain Length and Saturation Using Broadband CARS Microscopy.

abstract：:beta-Lactamase, which catalyzes beta-lactam antibiotics, is prototypical of large alpha/beta proteins with a scaffolding formed by strong noncovalent interactions. Experimentally, the enzyme is well characterized, and intermediates that are slightly less compact and having nearly the same content of secondary structur...
