Today, we can determine the structural basis of a biological molecule by X-ray crystallography or X-ray solution scattering. However, static structures do not say a lot for the realtime transition of the functional dynamics. Here we introduce the pump-probe method using combined single bunch X-ray from synchrotron source and pulsed laser system in sub nanosecond time resolution. Time-resolved X-ray solution scattering measurement of dimeric hemoglobin revealed a spiral motion of two subunits and three intermediate states. The pump-probe method is even powerful technique in the other methods of measurement for the protein dynamics.
