Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) has become a widely used analysis method in structural biology. The BioSAXS technique provides valuable information on the size, 3D shape, folding state, aggregation, and molecular weight of biological macromolecules (proteins, lipids, RNA/DNA, antibodies) in solution. In comparison to complementary methods such as single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), SAXS allows analysis of the structure of these materials in their native state.
The webinar content will be:
- Basic introduction to the BioSAXS method
- Comparing the BioSAXS method with complementary structural biology methods
- Discussion of selected application examples of BioSAXS studies on biological samples
Target group:
- Anyone working in the field of protein, lipid, and RNA/DNA materials and who is interested in their structural characterization
- Anyone using complementary techniques (e.g. SC-XRD, Cryo-EM, NMR, etc.) for analyzing biological materials
- Anyone working both in R&D and QC of biological materials
