Laser light scattering in biochemistry - Royal Society of Chemistry

This study covers the state of the art in both classical (or "total intensity") and dynamic (or "quasielastic") light scattering. Although recently great attention has focused on the contribution that dynamic light scattering is making towards biomolecular science, classical light scattering is now also making significant in-roads, particularly with the appearance of so-called "Maxwell Demon" techniques involving the coupling of classical light scattering photometers to a gel permeation or size exclusion chromatography system.;Part 1 of the book seeks to address all of these developments. Part 2 deals with specific applications to systems of biological macromolecules, from proteins and glycopolymers right through to nucleic acids. The final part of the book deals with the application of light scattering techniques to the study of large biomolecular assemblies, including membrane systems, whole micro-organisms and other cellular systems, and polymer systems for drug delivery.
