Practical issues in nuclear resonant vibrational spectroscopy for measuring biological samples: special problems, solutions and some perspectives.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear resonant vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) is a synchrotron based modern vibrational spectroscopy starting in mid 1990s. This review article focuses on a series of practical issues presented in NRVS for measuring biological samples, which have dilute concentrations, complicated molecular structures and unstable/meta stable enzymatic/chemical states. The main sections (Sec. 2 to Sec. 6) discuss the special problems facing these circumstances and the solutions to the problems. The example tasks include obtaining extra incident beam flux, calibrating energies for sectional scans, reducing real sample temperatures, reducing background counts while keep NRVS signal levels, manipulating and monitoring samples, as well as judging the best simulations. All these are critical for successful m
