中性子小角散乱 －応用編－  [in Japanese] Small-angle Neutron Scattering for Biology - Application of SANS to Biological Study -  [in Japanese]

<p>In this text, the authors introduce two powerful techniques and one developing one for Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). The most fascinating feature of neutron as a scattering probe is its isotope effect in hydrogen. The first topic is concerning about recent progress on <i>Contrast Variation Method</i>: the author shows how to apply the contrast variation method to protein-mineral complex system and analyze the data. The second is concerning about <i>deuteration-labeling</i>: the author shows kinetics analysis in quaternary structure of homo-oligomeric protein with this technique. The final topic is concerning about the next generation analysis: an analysis method <i>coupling SANS with neutron spin echo</i> for dynamics of tertiary structure of protein.</p>
