Neutron scattering is increasing our understanding of biological structures. Whether it’s examining the structure of a biological complex in solution, a surface associated model biological membrane or studying the dynamics of a biological macromolecule neutron scattering techniques are providing key insights. However, this growing area of research comes with its own unique challenges.
To face these challenges, the biological and bio-membranes groups at ISIS assist facility users in the preparation and analysis of biological samples prior to, during and after ISIS instrument beam-time to allow the biological user community at ISIS to get the most out of their neutron scattering experiments.
