Lysozyme neutron scattering experiments

Neutron experiments were first made on haemoglobin [98,99,147,166,167] and were extended to myoglobin [44,168], lysozyme [169] and catalase [170] as models of typical globular proteins. In parallel with X-ray scattering, the haemoglobin work (mainly in H20) identified a conformational change between the oxy- and deoxy-forms which was reflected in an difference of 0.054 nm in H20 buffers. Scattering curve comparisons to <2 = 3 nm with the crystal structures verified this.
