Neutron Diffraction 1) Scattering from nuclei - combined x-n analysis of small molecules. 2) Scattering power does not depend on atomic number. - hydrogens scatter strongly - deuterium and hydrogen opposite signs. 3) Small-angle scattering - contrast matching. 4) Solution scattering with isotope substitution - partial structure factors. 4) Enzyme structures - proton positions - water structure - no solution to phase problem - large crystals required - need nuclear reactor or spallation source.
