1 September 2006 | $10 CONTENTS Volume 313, Issue 5791 COVER DEPARTMENTS Three-dimensional Wigner plot (where x is time, y is wavelength, and z is amplitude of the electrical field) of the specific laser pulse found to enhance the photoisomerization quantum yield of retinal in bacteriorhodopsin in the weak excitation limit. The complex periodic pattern induces coherent nuclear motions that are specific to the isomerization reaction. See page 1257. 1195 1197 1203 1208 1211 1213 1233 1313 1319 Image: Helena V.
