Biological Materials and Systems
Bioscience research at SNS and HFIR is broadly interested in the structure and dynamics of biological assemblies. The biology program spans areas where neutrons excel (hydrogen/deuterium contrast, light atoms, order/disorder transitions, lipids and membranes, hierarchical assemblies, imaging of biological systems). Members of the Biological Materials and Systems Initiative have specific interests in:
-
Bio-inspired catalysts
-
Deuterium labeling of biomolecules
-
Visit the Bio-Deuteration Laboratory for information regarding access to deuterium labeling resources.
-
-
Lipid and membrane systems
-
Metalloenzyme catalytic mechanisms
-
Neuromorphic materials
-
Plants and microbial systems for production of value-added products
-
Protein-ligand interactions for human health
-
Protein/nucleic acid/lipid complexes
