TL;DR: Using a combination of x-ray and neutron scattering methods with vibrational and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, it is shown that celery collenchyma microfibrils were 2.9 to 3.0 nm in mean diameter, with a most probable structure containing 24 chains in cross section, arranged in eight hydrogen-bonded sheets of three chains, with extensive disorder in lateral packing, conformation, and hydrogen bonding.

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction and congo-red staining indicate that post-yield deformation leads to an irreversible alpha-->beta conformational transition in IFs, which leads to plastic deformation, and may be used by cells as a mechanosensory cue.

TL;DR: In the crystal structure of cellulose I beta, disordered hydrogen bonding can be represented by the average of two mutually exclusive hydrogen bonding schemes that have been designated A and B, and neutron crystallographic techniques are used to determine the occupancies of these schemes.

TL;DR: The structural and thermal properties of Fmoc-peptide-based hydrogels for medical applications are described and the role of interactions between aromatic moieties in the self-assembly process and on the physical and structural properties of the hydrogel is studied.

TL;DR: The structure of the metalloenzyme D-xylose isomerase is determined by neutron diffraction in order to locate H atoms (or their isotope D) and the results lead to new suggestions as to how changes might take place over the course of the reaction.
