Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
Thermal fluctuations of cold shock proteins from different flavours of extrem...
Extremophiles are organisms which survive and thrive in extreme environments. The proteins from extremophilic organisms have received considerable attention as they are... -
The intermediate stages of hydrogen disorder to order phase transitions in ice
In recent years, our team has discovered three new phases of ice: ices XIII, XIV and XV. On the basis of calorimetric data and some limited diffraction data collected on GEM we... -
Microscopic structure of nitric oxide (NO): A comparison between experiments ...
The Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine (1998) was awarded for the finding that nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Its... -
Me-ND311BD4: a temperature dependent study of its crystal structure and decom...
We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to... -
Understanding the Earth's Core-Mantle Boundary: Crystal and Magnetic Structur...
The physical properties of the post-perovskite phase of MgSiO3 control the dynamics of the lower thermal boundary layer of the Earth¿s mantle, but many of these properties...
