ABSTRACTNanophase titanium, prepared by the gas-condensation method both as aggregated powder and in lightly compacted discs, has been studied by conventional small angle neutron scattering, and by use of contrast variation methods. The contrast has been changed (a), isotopically, by means of deuterated/protonated solvents distilled into the specimen and (b) by progressive incremental oxidation of the Ti particles using fixed doses of low-pressure oxygen. It was shown that some evolution of the small angle pattern for lightly compacted nanophase Ti occurred over a period of several months at 300 K. Contrast matching by external solvent works well and has allowed the scattering lengths of oxidized and unoxidized specimens to be followed. The results imply that the scattering from metal and oxide can be separated under suitable conditions. The partial oxidation experiments indicate that there is both a fast and slow oxidation at 300 K. Also, during slow oxidation, high scattering length density scattering centers were formed whose number increased, but whose size remained the same at about 2 nm; these centers are tentatively assumed to be TiO2.

Abstract Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small- angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) are powerful techniques for the structural characterization of biomolecular complexes. In particular, SANS enables a selective observation of specific components in complexes by selective deuteration with contrast-matching techniques. In most cases, however, biomolecular interaction systems with heterogeneous oligomers often contain unfavorable aggregates and unbound species, hampering data interpretation. To overcome these problems, SAXS has been recently combined with size exclusion chromatography (SEC), which enables the isolation of the target complex in a multi-component system. By contrast, SEC–SANS is only at a preliminary stage. Hence, we herein perform a feasibility study of this method based on our newly developed inverse contrast-matching (iCM) SANS technique using antibody interactions as model systems. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) or its Fc fragment was mixed with 75% deuterated Fc-binding proteins, i.e. a mutated form of IgG-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus pyogenes and a soluble form of Fcγ receptor IIIb, and subjected to SEC–SANS as well as SEC–SAXS as reference. We successfully observe SANS from the non-deuterated IgG or Fc formed in complex with these binding partners, which were unobservable in terms of SANS in D2O, hence demonstrating the potential utility of the SEC–iCM–SANS approach.
