Small Angle X-Ray Scattering

Journal ArticleDOI

Macromolecular crowding: obvious but underappreciated.

TL;DR: Positive results of crowding include enhancing the collapse of polypeptide chains into functional proteins, the assembly of oligomeric structures and the efficiency of action of some molecular chaperones and metabolic pathways.

Accuracy of molecular mass determination of proteins in solution by small-angle X-ray scattering

TL;DR: In this article, the molecular mass (MM) of a monodisperse protein solution is calculated from the extrapolated scattering intensity at zero angle I(0), which provides valuable information about the oligomeric state and absence of unspecific aggregation.

Interplay between Spinodal Decomposition and Glass Formation in Proteins Exhibiting Short-Range Attractions

TL;DR: It is shown that quenches below a temperature Ta lead to gel formation as a result of a local arrest of the protein-dense phase during spinodal decomposition.
