Abstract
Infrared free electron laser (IR-FEL) enables us to investigate novel laser-driven phenomena in various research fields, due to its high photon density in a picosecond time scale as well as wide wavelength tunability in the infrared region. As an application of IR-FEL to biomedical field, we show here efficient dissociation of amyloid fibrils that are cause of serious amyloidosis by using the FEL tuned to amide band.
