Welcome to the Small Angle Scattering Platform for Structural Biology!

Small-Angle Scattering is a powerful technique to study macromolecule conformations in solution. X-rays and Neutrons scattering present very complementary aspects. In order to learn how these techniques can enrich your research project, what are their specificities and how to prepare a SAXS or SANS experiment, please read the instructions contained in this page. Local scientists in charge of BioSAXS (BM29 at ESRF) and BioSANS (D22 at ILL) instruments would be pleased to help you if you need further details or if you plan to submit an experiment proposal.

Be aware that in case you would like to take advantage of the complementarity of these two methods, it is possible to submit a joint SAXS-SANS proposal: you should write a SANS proposal in which you precise that you also want to caracterise your sample by SAXS.
