3. Electronic excitation and relaxation
The UV and visible light used in the experiments described in this article corresponds to the electronic excitation of the chromophores present in the ion. In the case of proteins, these are aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine). Following electronic excitation (absorption of a photon hν
a
), the ion can de-excite via (Figure
