Examples of X-ray Scattering Data from Soft Biological Structures

7 EXAMPLES OF X-RAY SCATTERING DATA FROM SOFT BIOLOGICAL STRUCTURES 

FIGURE 6.24 Examples of SAXS data collected in two different lipid lamellar phases, (a) The gel phase Lp. on a sample of pure DPPC (l,2-dlpalmltoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) and (b) in the liquid crystalline lipid phase on a sample of pure DOPE (l,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine. Both sets of data were collected using a synchrotron x-ray source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. 

Ideal x-ray scattering from a solution of F-actin filaments will reveal structural characteristics of the system from length scales up to about 100 nm and down to the atomic level. Examples of information that may be obtained from unaligned solution scattering include
