Focus and Coverage

Structural Dynamics focuses on recent developments in experimental and theoretical methods and techniques that explore electronic and geometric structure as well as the changes of chemical, biological, and condensed-matter systems over time. The community of scientists and engineers working on either structure or dynamics may work across diverse systems, but often share similar instrumentation and methods. Hence, the journal seeks to create connections across a variety of fields of study and also to support communications between these cultures. Structural Dynamics (SDY) is co-published by AIP Publishing and the ACA (The Structural Science Society), and it publishes articles from a global community of researchers that advance and promote crystallography and structural science.

Nonequilibrium warm dense matter investigated with laser–plasma-based XANES down to the femtosecond

F. Dorchies, K. Ta Phuoc et al.

The use of laser–plasma-based x-ray sources is discussed, with a view to carrying out time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, down to the femtosecond timescale. A review of recent ...

High-throughput thermal denaturation of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase combinatorial mutants reveals high-order energetic coupling determinants of conformational stability

Violetta Weinreb, Gabriel Weinreb et al.

Landscape descriptions provide a framework for identifying functionally significant dynamic linkages in proteins but cannot supply details. Rate measurements of combinatorial mutations can implicate ...

Quasi-elastic neutron scattering reveals the relationship between the dynamical behavior of phospholipid headgroups and hydration water

Md. Khalidur Rahman, Takeshi Yamada et al.

The dynamics of hydration water (HW) in 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DMPE) was investigated by means of quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) and compared with those observed ...
