放射光を用いた生体試料の構造機能解析

抄録

Advent of synchrotron radiation completely changed X-ray experiments on biological samples. Protein crystallography data collection has now become a routine work for most of researchers. Protein small-angle scattering measurements are also popular. Time resolved experiments that make best use of high brilliance of synchrotron X-rays are not many in number but have been producing many biophysically interesting results. As synchrotron radiation facilities are still evolving toward lower emittance, new ideas of experiments using the more brilliant X-ray beam are anticipated.
