Pepsi-SAXS: New method of protein analysis that is 50 times faster than analogues

(Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology) One of the techniques used to study proteins is the analysis of X-rays scattered from them. Pepsi-SAXS stands for 'polynomial expansions of protein structures and interactions' and 'small-angle X-ray scattering.'It has been shown that Pepsi-SAXS is five to 50 times faster than the previously used methods. At the same time, the accuracy is on a par with them. "
