Applications of small-angle X-ray scattering to biomacromolecular solutions

Application of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues

ABSTRACT Background: Coherent scattering leads to diffraction effects and especially constructive interferences. Theseinterferences carry some information about the molecular structure of the tissue. As breast cancer isthe most widespread cancer in women, this project evaluated the application of small angleX-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues....

Analysis of X-ray and neutron scattering from biomacromolecular solutions.

New developments in small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering studies of biological macromolecules in solution are presented. Small-angle scattering is rapidly becoming a streamline tool in structural molecular biology providing unique information about overall structure and conformational changes of native individual proteins, functional complexes, flexible macromolecules and assembly processes.

Small Angle X-ray Scattering from Macromolecular Solutions and Nanoparticles

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiences a renaissance in the studies of macromolecular solutions allowing one to study the structure of native particles and to rapidly analyze structural changes in response to variations in external conditions [1]. Novel data analysis methods significantly enhanced resolution and reliability of structural models provided by the technique. Emerging autom...
