Abstract
The main theme of the present Symposium is the application of neutron scattering to structural molecular biology, and this involves the analysis of diffraction patterns in much the same way as with x rays. It is possible, however, to go beyond this and do something with neutrons that cannot be done with x rays: to energy-analyze the intensity at each scattering angle, in addition to determining its dependence on angle. A well-developed method of structural analysis thus assumes a “spectroscopic dimension,” and in this neutrons are unique.
