Small angle x-ray scattering studies of magnetically oriented lipid bilayers

Structural properties of archaeal lipid bilayers: small-angle X-ray scattering and molecular dynamics simulation study.

Aeropyrum pernix is an aerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon that grows in harsh environmental conditions and as such possesses unique structural and metabolic features. Its membrane interfaces with the extreme environment and is the first line of defense from external factors. Therefore, lipids composing this membrane have special moieties that increase its stability. The membrane of A. pernix is...

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....

Small angle X-ray scattering studies on myosin.

Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a potentially powerful method for obtaining structural information from biological molecules in solution. The use of this technique in the laboratory has hitherto been limited by the long exposures necessary to obtain patterns on photographic film. Multi-wire area detectors, due to their high efficiency and absence of noise, enable patterns to be collected...
