Conspectus Aerobic organisms have evolved to activate oxygen from the atmosphere, which
allows them to catalyze the oxidation of different kinds of substrates. This activation of …

Metals are present in more than one-third of all proteins as they occur in nature, and are
usually important in biological function or maintenance of the structure. Some are present as …

Heme enzymes activate oxygen through formation of transient iron-oxo (ferryl) intermediates
of the heme iron. A long-standing question has been the nature of the iron-oxygen bond …

Neutron protein crystallography is a powerful tool for investigating protein chemistry
because it directly locates hydrogen atom positions in a protein structure. The visibility of …

Neutron scattering studies provide important information in structural biology that is not
accessible using other approaches. The uniqueness of the technique, and its …

In this review we provide an overview of the potential of synchrotron radiation techniques to
understand the structural and electronic properties of coordination compounds. Besides the …

The scattering of neutrons can be used to provide information on the structure and dynamics
of biological systems on multiple length and time scales. Pursuant to a National Science …

The nascent suite of single-crystal neutron diffractometers at the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory has no equal at any other neutron scattering facility worldwide and offers the …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are surface-active redox enzymes that
catalyze the degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides, making them important tools for …

At the Institut Laue–Langevin, a new neutron Laue diffractometer LADI-III has been fully
operational since March 2007. LADI-III is dedicated to neutron macromolecular …
