Session Abstract

This microsymposium will focus on advances in the area of neutron diffraction
focusing on advances in terms of hardware, software and knowledge gained from neutron crystallography of macromolecules. Raw diffraction data availability, promoted by all the neutron facilities with their dedicated data archives, would facilitate re refinements notably at higher resolution as neutron macromolecular methods and software are advancing apace. There is a room to show upcoming possibilities at ESS, STS at ORNL.

For all abstracts of the session as prepared for Acta Crystallographica see PDF in Introduction, or individual abstracts below.
