✦ Synopsis

Structural biology is one of the most important fields in the life sciences that will interest human beings in the 21st century. Neutrons are expected to provide not only the positions of hydrogen atoms in biological macromolecules but also information on the dynamic molecular motions, which play a very important role in many physiological functions. In order to extract information for structural biology, single crystal neutron diffractometry, small angle neutron scattering and inelastic neutron scattering experiments have been carried out. Several examples are introduced and future prospects for neutron structural biology are discussed.
