Description:
Instrumental and specimen considerations pertinent to performing time-resolved x-ray diffraction on biological materials are discussed. Existing synchrotron x-ray sources, in conjunction with integrating x-ray detectors, have made millisecond diffraction experiments feasible; exposure times several orders of magnitude shorter than this will be possible with synchrotron sources now on the drawing boards. Experience gained from time-resolved studies together with order-of-magnitude estimates of specimen requirements can be used to determine the instrumental capabilities needed for various time-resolved experiments. Existing instrumental capabilities and methods of dealing with time-resolved specimens are reviewed.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gruner, S M -- GM32614/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Oct 16;238(4825):305-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Princeton University, NJ 08544.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3310232" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
