Description
Protein solutions can exhibit rather complex behavior, in particular at high concentrations, i.e. "crowding" conditions.
For a comprehensive understanding of the structures,
from the molecular level to oligomers to larger-scale structures arising, e.g., in phase separating systems,
small-angle scattering plays a crucial role. This is also the basis for the interpretation of the associated dynamics
as well we kinetic effects. We discuss examples for the crucial role of small-angle scattering, particularly for the kinetics of phase transformations such as liquid-liquid phase separation and phenomena related to crystallization.
