Experience in Using Synchrotron Radiation for Structural Researches of Biological Systems by Korneev VN in Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings Studying the structural mechanism of the functional activity of biological systems, an important role belongs to the instrumental and methodical developments intended for the energy-dispersive (Θ=const) and monochromatic (λ=const) diffractometry using Synchrotron Radiation (SR). To solve the problems of structural biology of tissues, the SR of two Russian centers of collective use-the Siberian and Moscow regions-was used. X-ray stations were created on beam-lines of storage ring VEPP-3 (SCSTR, Novosibirsk) and Siberia-2 (NRC «Kurchatov Institute», Moscow). Experimental techniques and research methods were intended for the following experiments: the study of the structure and structural dynamics of cross-striated skeletal muscle; the structural study of epithelial tissue samples in normal and pathological conditions; the study of natura...
