The SANSNanodiscsWithTagsFast McStas Component

14.84  The SANSNanodiscsWithTagsFast McStas Component

A sample of monodisperse phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs in solution (water) - with histidine tag still on the belt proteins.

Identification

  • Author: Martin Cramer Pedersen (mcpe@nbi.dk)

  • Origin: KU-Science

  • Date: October 17, 2012

Description

A component very similar to EmptyNanodiscsWithTags.comp - however, the scattering profile is only computed once, and linear interpolation is the used to simulate the instrument.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
