Abstract
The Jahn-Teller effect (JTE) is central to the understanding of the physical and chemical properties of a broad variety of molecules and materials. Whereas the manifestations of the JTE in stationary properties of matter are relatively well studied, the study of JTE-induced dynamics is still in its infancy, largely owing to its ultrafast and non-adiabatic nature. For example, the time scales reported for the distortion of CH 4 + from the initial T d geometry to a nominal C 2 v relaxed structure range from 1.85 fs over 10 ± 2 fs to 20 ± 7 fs. Here, by combining element-specific attosecond transient-absorption spectroscopy and quantum-dynamics simulations, we show that the initial electronic relaxation occurs within 5 fs and that the subsequent nuclear dynamics are dominated by the Q2 scissoring and Q1 symmetric stretching modes, which dephase in 41 ± 10 fs and 13 ± 3 fs, respectively. Significant structural relaxation is found to take place only along the e-symmetry Q2 mode. These results demonstrate that CH 4 + created by ionization of CH 4 is best thought of as a highly fluxional species that possesses a long-time-averaged vibrational distribution centered around a D 2 d structure. The methods demonstrated in our work provide guidelines for the understanding of Jahn-Teller driven non-adiabatic dynamics in other more complex systems.

Abstract
Recent developments in X-ray free-electron lasers have enabled a novel site-selective probe of coupled nuclear and electronic dynamics in photoexcited molecules, time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (TRXPS). We present results from a joint experimental and theoretical TRXPS study of the well-characterized ultraviolet photodissociation of CS2, a prototypical system for understanding non-adiabatic dynamics. These results demonstrate that the sulfur 2p binding energy is sensitive to changes in the nuclear structure following photoexcitation, which ultimately leads to dissociation into CS and S photoproducts. We are able to assign the main X-ray spectroscopic features to the CS and S products via comparison to a first-principles determination of the TRXPS based on ab initio multiple-spawning simulations. Our results demonstrate the use of TRXPS as a local probe of complex ultrafast photodissociation dynamics involving multimodal vibrational coupling, nonradiative transitions between electronic states, and multiple final product channels.

Abstract
Time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy is emerging as a uniquely powerful tool to probe coupled electronic-nuclear dynamics in photo-excited molecules. Theoretical studies to date have established that time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy is an atom-specific probe of excited-state wave packet passage through a seam of conical intersections (CIs). However, in many molecular systems, there are competing dynamical pathways involving CIs of different electronic and nuclear character. Discerning these pathways remains an important challenge. Here, we demonstrate that time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (TRXAS) has the potential to resolve competing channels in excited-state non-adiabatic dynamics. Using the example of 1,3-butadiene, we show how TRXAS discerns the different electronic structures associated with passage through multiple conical intersections. trans-1,3-Butadiene exhibits a branching between polarized and radicaloid pathways associated with ethylenic "twisted-pyramidalized" and excited-state cis-trans isomerization dynamics, respectively. The differing electronic structures along these pathways give rise to different XAS signals, indicating the possibility of resolving them. Furthermore, this indicates that XAS, and other core-level spectroscopic techniques, offer the appealing prospect of directly probing the effects of selective chemical substitution and its ability to affect chemical control over excited-state molecular dynamics.

Abstract
This work aimed to determine the antioxidant properties of identified hydrolyzed oat proteins and peptides, and their capacity to inhibit lipase and α-amylase. The protein hydrolysates retarded the oxidation of peanut oil by reducing peroxide values (up to 2.5-fold), relative to the control oil. Of the five tested peptides, P1 (YFDEQNEQFR), P3 (SPFWNINAH), and P4 (NINAHSVVY) significantly reduced the oxidation of linoleic acid. In the enzyme assays, P3 was the best lipase inhibitor (IC50 85.4 ± 3 µM) while P1 was the most potent inhibitor of α-amylase (IC50 37.5 ± 1.1 µM). The structure-activity relationship assessed using the CABS-dock computational model predicted that interactions between peptides and pancreatic lipase residues of Ser153 , His264 , and Asp177 were important for the inhibition. In the case of α-amylase, interactions with residues of the active sites (Asp197 , Glu233 , and Asp300 ), but not those of calcium- or chloride-binding domains, were important for the inhibition. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In recent years, there have been many studies focussing on isolating multifunctional peptides from food and food waste with antioxidant and bioactivity potential to promote human health. Some of these antioxidant peptides have been found to be effective to prevent diseases and complications such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. The peptides studied in this work showed a great potential to prevent oxidation in a lipid system and demonstrated a significant ability to reduce the enzymatic activity of lipase and α-amylase. These enzymes contribute to the digestion of fat and carbohydrate, and their inhibition can reduce the absorption of these macronutrients and make them a great target for designing antioxidant and anti-obesity compounds. With the multifunctional activity of oat bran-derived peptides, it is proposed that these peptides can be used in food formulations due to their antioxidant and potential anti-obesity properties.

Abstract
We present an extension of the combined density functional theory (DFT) and multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) method (DFT/MRCI) [S. Grimme and M. Waletzke, J. Chem. Phys. 111, 5645 (1999)] for the calculation of core-excited states based on the core-valence separation (CVS) approximation. The resulting method, CVS-DFT/MRCI, is validated via the simulation of the K-edge X-ray absorption spectra of 40 organic chromophores, amino acids, and nucleobases, ranging in size from CO2 to tryptophan. Overall, the CVS-DFT/MRCI method is found to yield accurate X-ray absorption spectra (XAS), with consistent errors in peak positions of ∼2.5-3.5 eV. Additionally, we show that the CVS-DFT/MRCI method may be employed to simulate XAS from valence excited states and compare the simulated spectra to those computed using the established wave function-based approaches [ADC(2) and ADC(2)x]. In general, each of the methods yields excited state XAS spectra in qualitative and often quantitative agreement. In the instances where the methods differ, the CVS-DFT/MRCI simulations predict intensity for transitions for which the underlying electronic states are characterized by doubly excited configurations relative to the ground state configuration. Here, we aim to demonstrate that the CVS-DFT/MRCI approach occupies a specific niche among numerous other electronic structure methods in this area, offering the ability to treat initial states of arbitrary electronic character while maintaining a low computational cost and comparatively black box usage.
