Structure and dynamics of glassy charged colloids studied with coherent small angle X-ray scattering

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 and the structure of Ge-S and GeS2-Ag2S glassy systems

The homogeneity of binary GeSx (1.51 x 15) and ternary (1-y) GeSz+yAgzS (0.05<y20.5) glasses has been characterized from SAXS experiments. The scattering intensity of GeSx binary glasses is weak and present a monotonous decay only fitted by using a Debye-Biieche model. These results seem to indicate that GeSx glassy network have only weak fluctuations of electron density ,correlated in a few hu...

Combining NMR and small angle X-ray scattering for the study of biomolecular structure and dynamics

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) are established methods to analyze the structure and structural transitions of biological macromolecules in solution. Both methods are directly applicable to near-native macromolecular solutions and allow one to study structural responses to physical and chemical changes or ligand additions. Whereas SAXS is applied to eluc...
