Abstract excerpt
Electronic absorption spectra are oftentimes used to identify reaction intermediates or substrates/products in enzymatic systems, as long as absorption bands can be unequivocally assigned to the species being studied. The latter task is far from trivial given the transient nature of some states and the complexity of the surrounding environment around the active site. To identify unique spectral fingerprints,...
