Neutron scattering studies provide important information in structural biology that is not accessible using other approaches. The uniqueness of the technique, and its complementarity with X-ray scattering, is greatest when full use is made of deuterium labeling. The ability to produce tailor-made deuterium-labeled biological macromolecules
allows neutron studies involving solution scattering,...

Polymer nanocomposites are materials made of nanoparticles incorporated in a polymer matrix, where the filler particles are usually added to enhance mechanical properties, e.g. of car tire materials [1]. Material performance depends to a great extent on the structure of the filler, i.e. its dispersion state in the polymer matrix, as well as on the physical characteristics (mass, crosslinking,...

Energetic materials (explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics) form a key foundation of our group's research - primarily in examining how the crystal structures of these materials affect their explosive properties and sensitivity to stimuli. To look at these structures, we make great use of neutron diffraction, especially under extreme conditions - in situ diffraction at high pressures allows...

Structural knowledge of membrane proteins is paramount to the understanding of a wide range of questions in life science. In recent years, a number of alternatives to traditional crystallization have emerged, among them the use of various lipid:protein particles in connection with small-angle scattering, and direct methods like Cryo-EM. Commonly for all of these techniques is that the...

Lipids and membranes
Poster abstract
Most biological membranes are characterized an asymmetric lipid distribution along the two leaflets, i.e. the inner leaflet is compositionally different from the outer one. Bilayer asymmetry is thought to affect various membrane properties, like membrane potential, surface charge, permeability, and stability. Bilayer asymmetry is also thought to affect structural properties of the membrane,...

The lateral organisation of lipids and proteins in the eukaryotic cell membrane has been the focus of intense research. Of special interest is how the lipid components of the membrane can be triggered to phase-separate and form highly dynamic, nanoscale structures known as “rafts” (1). It has been well-established that under physiological conditions in membranes composed of phospholipid (PL),...

Liquid crystals generally do not have the three dimensional long-range order of a crystal lattice and have few or no
Bragg peaks. We have to go beyond simple diffraction methods to characterise and understand their structure.
Neutron scattering from deuterium labelled molecules has given many insights into the structure and dynamics of
these phases.
An important quantity...

The active film in all organic optoelectronic devices have interfaces with a range of different length scales and types: molecular, bulk, organic-organic, and organic-inorganic. Thus, controlling the structure of the active film and the interfaces within organic optoelectronic devices plays an important role in optimising their performance. Neutron techniques such as neutron reflectometry and...

The natural environment of proteins is a crowded environment as in cells, extracellular fluids or during processing.

The bacterial magnesium transporter CorA from Thermotoga maritima has been studied with small angle neutron scattering in match out deuterated DDM micelles.
