25 Total Intensity and Quasi - elastic tight Scattering Applications in Microbiology By Stephen
نویسنده
چکیده
The previous chapters in this volume have considered the advances in laser light scattering theory and methodology followed by specific applications to systems of biological macromolecules. In this first chapter on "large" macromolecular assemblies we wili survey some of the many recent applications of laser light scattering to problems in microbiology and focus on some of the work that we have been specifically involved with on viral and bacterial systems. The review element of this Chapter is intended to supplement an earlier article from this laboratoryl. The reader is also referred to a more general review by Bloomfield2 which includes a consideration of quasielastic light scattering (QLS) applications in virology and to the study of microbial motility, and an earlier article by Wyatt3 which considers total intensity light scattering (TILS) applications in bacteriology.

Total intensity and quasi-elastic light-scattering applications in microbiology.
The application of laser light-scattering techniques to the study of whole intact micro-organisms provides certain advantages and disadvantages compared with the study of smaller macromolecular assemblies and macromolecules. The advantages include the greater signal to noise ratio (i.e. the ‘dust problem’ is not as severe), the correspondingly smaller concentrations generally required to give a...
متن کاملDetection of Melanoma Skin Cancer by Elastic Scattering Spectra: A Proposed Classification Method
Introduction: There is a strong need for developing clinical technologies and instruments for prompt tissue assessment in a variety of oncological applications as smart methods. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) is a real-time, noninvasive, point-measurement, optical diagnostic technique for malignancy detection through changes at cellular and subcellular levels, especially important in ear...
متن کاملApplications of light scattering in microbiology.
Applications of the three principal light scattering techniques of turbidimetry, differential light scattering, and quasi-elastic light scattering to systems of microorganisms are reviewed. The relation between the three techniques is demonstrated and it is shown how these techniques can yield basic structural, optical, and even hydrodynamic properties for a wide range of microorganisms, with p...
متن کاملElastic resolution spectroscopy: a method to study molecular motions in small biological samples
Few biological molecules are available in quantities, 200–400mg, that are required for quasi-elastic neutron scattering analysis. We show that the time correlation function of molecular motions can be extracted with much less material using only the strong scattering intensity at zero energy transfer. The time axis is introduced by varying the width of the instrumental resolution function, whic...
متن کاملComparison of electron-nucleus quasi-elastic cross sections using spectral functions with (e, e) data from 0.5 GeV to 1.5 GeV and effects on neutrino quasi-elastic cross sections
We carry out a relativistic calculation of the cross sections of electron-O and -C quasi-elastic scattering and quasi-free ∆ production and compare with the (e, e) data systematically in the wide energy range of 0.5 – 1.5 GeV. Using the same formalism, we examine the νμ quasi-elastic scattering from O. The model incorporating the nuclear correlation effects agrees better with the electron-nucle...
