Structure Sensitive Methods Scattering Methods (x-ray, electrons, neutrons) 2D-NMR + highest structure resolution power - works best in crystals + works best in solution + high structure resolution power - intrinsic time resolution very poor (1-100 ms) + intrinsic time resolution unlimited Time Resolved Scattering Methods 2D-IR +intrinsic time resolution fast (1 ps) - structure resolution power low but non-zero

Conclusion Transient 2D-IR spectroscopy combines picosecond time resolution with microscopic structural information Transient 2D-IR reveals new insight into fast structural dynamics of peptides, that cannot be obtained otherwise. An ultrafast molecular movie of the 3D- structure conceivable (in connection with isotope labeling)
