Transmembrane proteins facilitate the exchange of materials, energy, and information across the cell membrane, thereby enabling cells to adapt more effectively to the surrounding environment. There has been de novo designed transmembrane proteins; however, they lack the ability to respond to specific environmental cues—such as voltage, pH, ligands, mechanical force, light, and temperature. Here, w...

X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) sources have garnered significant attention due to novel light-source properties: unprecedented peak power, an excellent transverse coherence, and femtoseconds pulse duration. These unique capabilities are highly beneficial for research in nonlinear physics, structural biology, and ultrafast chemistry. In ultrafast chemistry, XFEL serves as a probe in pump-probe ex...
