Nanoscience, SAXS and you
(2017)
Molecular self-assembly primarily occurs in solution. To better understand this process, techniques capable of probing the solvated state are consequently required. Smallangle scattering (SAS) has a proven ability to detect and characterize solutions, but it is rarely applied to more complex assembly shapes. Here, small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering are applied to observe toroidal assemblies in solution. Combined analysis confirms that the toroids have a core–shell structure, with a p-conjugated core and an alkyl shell into which solvent penetrates. The dimensions determined by SAS agree well with those obtained by (dried-state) atomic force microscopy. Increasing the number of naphthalene units in the molecular building block yields greater rigidity, as evidenced by a larger toroid and a reduction in solvent penetration into the shell. The detailed structural analysis demonstrates the applicability of SAS to monitor complex solution-based selfassembly.
Excelling in brevity but lacking in applicability, the 2011 EU nanomaterial definition has become a source of anguish for scientists and industry alike. Repeated pleas and discussions with our own envoy have demonstrated the strength of their resolve: this definition is unlikely to change. Manufacturers of many materials (cosmetics, pigments, foodstuffs, etc.) will have to characterise and label all their products accordingly, a task still impossible for lack of a clear metrological approach towards this goal. Therefore, the onus has fallen on the scientists to come up with a practicable measurement technique allowing inexpensive classification covering large swathes of the material landscape. Small-angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) probes the size range in question, and can - with due care - deliver a bulk-averaged volume-weighted size distribution. Like any other real-world measurement method, however, it is not (and can never be) a universal solution. This presentation will clarify the SAXS technique, provide several application examples for nanomaterial characterisation, and will detail the limitations and pitfalls that accompany its abilities. At the end of this presentation, you will have the information to judge whether the technique is amenable to your materials or not.
Protein folding, unfolding and misfolding have become critically important to a range of health and industry applications. Increasing high temperature and high pressure are used to control and speed up reactions. A number of studies have indicated that these parameters can have a large effecton protein structure and function. Here we describe the additive effects of these parameters on the small angle scattering behaviour of ribonuclease A. We find that alternate unfolded structures can be obtained with combined high pressure and temperature treatment of the protein.
