Opis

Small angle solution scattering is now often applied to biological problems. When applied in appropriate circumstances with carefully structured questions, the technique can provide unique information not available from other techniques. This book offers understanding of the experiments with a simple and intuitive approach to the underlying theory.

Recenzje

The text is well written and easy to read, with each chapter concluding with a helpful summary. Overall, the book provides a description of biomolecular small-angle scattering and its applications that complements other texts and, when used in combination with established quality reference texts that are well referenced in this new contribution, would be useful for both the novice and expert scatterer
