Small-angle scattering (SAS) is a technique that is able to probe the structural organization
of matter and quantify its response to changes in external conditions. X-ray and neutron …

The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic highlights the importance of materials science in
providing tools and technologies for antiviral research and treatment development. In this …

The ATSAS software suite encompasses a number of programs for the processing,
visualization, analysis and modelling of small-angle scattering data, with a focus on the data …

BACKGROUND Conformational changes are essential for the correct functioning of
biological macromolecules. Time-resolved x-ray crystallography extends an extremely …

All solid materials are created via nucleation. In this evolutionary process, nuclei form in
solution or at interfaces, expand by monomeric growth and oriented attachment, and …

The SwissFEL X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility started construction at the Paul
Scherrer Institute (Villigen, Switzerland) in 2013 and will be ready to accept its first users in …

We review the tremendous advances in ultrafast X-ray science, over the past 15 years,
making the best use of new ultrashort X-ray sources including table-top or large-scale …

Sensory proteins must relay structural signals from the sensory site over large distances to
regulatory output domains. Phytochromes are a major family of red-light-sensing kinases …

Small-angle scattering of X-rays (SAXS) is an established method for the low-resolution
structural characterization of biological macromolecules in solution. The technique provides …

It is well-established that dynamics are central to protein function; their importance is
implicitly acknowledged in the principles of the Monod, Wyman and Changeux model of …
