Small Angle Neutron Scattering of Fibrinogen Polymerization Kinetics

Small angle neutron scattering

Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) is a technique that enables to probe the 3-D structure of materials on a typical size range lying from ∼ 1 nm up to ∼ a few 100 nm, the obtained information being statistically averaged on a sample whose volume is ∼ 1 cm3. This very rich technique enables to make a full structural characterization of a given object of nanometric dimensions (radius of gyrati...

Neutron small angle scattering of hemoglobin.

Neutron small angle scattering experiments were performed on human hemoglobin in various mixtures of Hz0 and DzO. It was possible to observe the inter-particle effect without corrections for resolution and to verify the first minimum and the secondary maximum in accordance with the theoretical scattering curve. The accuracy in determining the radius of gyration has been improved over that deter...

The polymerization of actin: structural changes from small-angle neutron scattering.

We present a new analysis of small-angle neutron-scattering data from rabbit muscle actin in the course of the polymerization from G-actin to F-actin as a function of temperature. The data, from Ivkov et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 108, 5599 (1998)], were taken in D2O buffer with Ca2+ as the divalent cation on the G-actin in the presence of ATP and with KCl as the initiating salt. The new analysis of t...
