摘要: We compare the spectral diffusion dynamics of resorufin doped glycerol/H2O- and glycerol/D2O-glass with respective a chromoprotein in same glass at 4.2 K. Spectral broadening photochemical holes is measured over almost four orders magnitude time. In all samples there are strong aging phenomena. Resorufin deuterated water/glycerol reasonably well-described by two level system (TLS) model. protonated glass, TLS model does not seem to describe experiments well. protein sample it totally fails.
