Dynamical Behavior of Human α-Synuclein Studied by Quasielastic Neutron Scattering. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 α-synuclein (αSyn) is a protein consisting of 140 amino acid residues and is abundant in the presynaptic nerve terminals in the brain. Although its precise function is unknown, the filamentous aggregates (amyloid fibrils) of αSyn have been shown to be ...

Quasielastic neutron scattering in biology: Theory and applications [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2017 Neutrons scatter quasielastically from stochastic, diffusive processes, such as overdamped vibrations, localized diffusion and transitions between energy minima. In biological systems, such as proteins and membranes, these relaxation processes are of considerable physical interest.

Disentangling Component Dynamics in an All-Polymer Nanocomposite Based on Single-Chain Nanoparticles by Quasielastic Neutron Scattering. [PDF]
Macromolecules, 2022 We have investigated an all-polymer nanocomposite (NC) consisting of single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) immersed in a matrix of linear chains of their precursors (25/75% composition in weight). The SCNPs were previously synthesized via “click” chemistry,

Dynamics studied by Quasielastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) [PDF]
Adsorption, 2021 AbstractQuasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) allows measurement of the molecular displacements in time and space, from pico- to tens of nanoseconds and from Ångstroms to nanometers, respectively. The method probes dynamics from fast vibrational modes down to slow diffusive motion.

Revisiting the modeling of quasielastic neutron scattering from bulk water [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) from bulk-water at 300 K, measured on the IRIS backscattering neutron spectrometer (ISIS, UK), is interpreted using the jump diffusion model (JDM), a “minimalistic” multi-timescale relaxation model (MRM) and ...

Quasielastic Neutron Scattering Study on Thermal Gelation in Aqueous Solution of Agarose [PDF]
Gels, 2023 The dynamics of water and agarose molecules in an agarose aqueous solution has been studied by means of quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). The dynamic structure factor S (Q,E) of the agarose aqueous solution was fitted well to the sum of the Lorentz

Dynamical Behavior of Disordered Regions in Disease-Related Proteins Revealed by Quasielastic Neutron Scattering [PDF]
Medicina, 2022 Background and Objectives: Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and proteins containing intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are known to be involved in various human diseases. Since the IDPs/IDRs are fluctuating between many structural substrates,
