Neutron Sources EMBL Grenoble
Neutron protein crystallography provides a powerful complement to X-ray diffraction by enabling key details of the hydrogen atom and water structure in protein crystal structures to be revealed. Applications include direct visualization of hydrogen atoms at catalytic sites in enzymes and the location of lipids, detergents and other disordered groups in crystals that often cannot be seen by X-ray analysis alone.

The neutron group is responsible for the support and development of two neutron protein diffractometers at the Institut Laue-Langevin [ILL].
