Advances in Dynamic Structural Science: Monitoring Chemical and Biological Processes Across Time Domains presents a clear and detailed introduction to the new and evolving field of dynamic structural science, presenting state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise from 20 world-leading experts, covering the science of molecular and macromolecular materials. The book will provide the reader with an understanding of the technology and methodology (how to do it) together with an understanding of what scientific questions can be asked and answered successfully (what will it do). The book is divided into four themed sections and topics covered include: (i) Time Resolved Biological Structures: Time resolved electron diffraction on biological macromolecules, time resolved protein crystallography. (ii) Molecular Photocrystallography: Dynamic photoinduced spin crossover systems, thermosalient and photosalient phenomena, small-angle/wide-angle X-ray scattering methodologies, time-resolved Laue diffraction. (iii) Spectroscopy of Fast Sources: Attosecond spectroscopy, femtosecond Raman spectroscopy, X-ray spectroscopy, time resolved 2D IR spectroscopy (iv) New Science at New Radiation Sources: The application of XFELs to biology and chemistry, fast physical processes studied at XFELs, from Synchrotrons to XFELs, time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering on biological systems, femtosecond X-ray diffraction with tabletop X-ray sources. The book is aimed at a wide readership of scientists with an interest in the dynamics of chemical or biological processes. It will be of particular interest to those working at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), or with synchrotron radiation, or with lasers, and it will also be of interest to chemists, biologists, physicists and materials scientists who have molecules or materials that would benefit from having time-resolved experiments carried out on them.
