Researchers from Mainz University and EMBL Hamburg present a new approach to determine the form of disordered proteins by using two different methods simultaneously in a single sample. Their findings ...

It measures the scattering of X-rays at larger angles (typically greater than 5 degrees) and provides information about the crystal structure, lattice parameters, and atomic spacing of the sample.

The scattering vector, denoted as q, is a crucial parameter in SAXS. It represents the difference between the incident and scattered wave vectors and is inversely related to the length scale probed in ...
