Dear Colleagues As part of Bruker's continuing webinar series focusing on techniques in structural biology, Dr. Robert Rambo from the Diamond Light Source will present a 45 minute interactive webinar entitled "Assessing Sample Quality for Modeling BioSAXS Experiments Using ScÅtter". Solution state small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments can be performed on a wide variety of sample types and conditions. However, the quality of the SAXS sample and accuracy of the measurement does limit the information content and usability of the SAXS data. Dr. Rambo will demonstrate with the JAVA program ScÅtter how to assess sample and data quality from experimental SAXS profiles available at the SAXS repository bioisis.net (http://bioisis.net). Poor background subtractions limits the effective resolution of the SAXS experiment and can provide misleading conclusions from a Kratky analysis. Using built-in features in ScÅtter, the resolution limit of a SAXS dataset can be confidently determined and likewise, quantitative measures of particle compactness can be readily derived.
