Olwyn Byron - Use of Small Angle Scattering with Biophysical Methods
Olwyn Byron
Glasgow University, UK


In this session I will describe in detail the principles underlying analytical ultracentrifugation and its utility in characterising biomacromolecular systems that are also being studied with small-angle scattering. This will be illustrated with a number of examples chosen from the literature in which additional complementary biophysical methods are used (e.g. circular dichroism, NMR, hydrodynamic bead modelling and bioinformatics-based modelling).
