The SAXSNanodiscsFast McXtrace Component

12.20  The SAXSNanodiscsFast McXtrace Component

Release: McXtrace 1.0

A sample of monodisperse phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs in solution (water).

Identification

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

  • Origin: KU-Science

  • Date: May 2, 2012

Description

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

Example: SAXSNanodiscsFast( xwidth = 0.01, yheight = 0.01, zdepth = 0.01, SampleToDetectorDistance = 0.48, DetectorRadius = 0.1 )

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
