An apparatus for stopped-flow X-ray scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 A stopped-flow apparatus and control system, designed for the study of rapid reaction kinetics in solution by X-ray scattering, is described. Inspired from a commercial stopped-flow unit used with UV and visible light, the X-ray device has a dead-time of 80 ms. Results are presented for the polymerization of the coat protein of Brome mosaic virus following a pH jump, using a small angle X-ray scattering instrument at Hasylab (Hamburg). Revue Phys. Appl. 19 (1984) 769-772 . « SEPTEMBRE 1984,

Unfolding kinetics of dimeric creatine kinase measured by stopped-flow small angle X-ray scattering.
The unfolding kinetics of creatine kinase (CK) in various concentrations of urea or guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) was investigated by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) using synchrotron radiation, and compared with the results obtained by stopped-flow circular dichroism and stopped-flow fluorescence. Using the three methods, the unfolding kinetics of CK fits well to a single exponential fun...
متن کاملSimultaneous birefringence, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering to detect precursors and characterize morphology development during flow-induced crystallization of polymers.
An experimental configuration that combines the powerful capabilities of a short-term shearing apparatus with simultaneous optical and X-ray scattering techniques is demonstrated, connecting the earliest events that occur during shear-induced crystallization of a polymer melt with the subsequent kinetics and morphology development. Oriented precursors are at the heart of the great effects that ...

متن کاملIntroducing an Optimized Method for Obtaining X-ray Diffraction Patterns of Biological Tissues
Introduction Individual X-Ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. Many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the X-Ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. The goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obt...
متن کاملEquilibrium and kinetics of the allosteric transition of GroEL studied by solution X-ray scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy.
We have studied the ATP-induced allosteric structural transition of GroEL using small angle X-ray scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with a stopped-flow technique. With X-ray scattering one can clearly distinguish the three allosteric states of GroEL, and the kinetics of the transition of GroEL induced by 85 microM ATP have been observed directly by stopped-flow X-ray scatt...
