DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Alvina Vazina (Institute of theoretical and experime
 ntal biophysics\, RAS)\nIn this report the results of long-term works - mo
 re than 40 years - in the field of structural biology of tissue with synch
 rotron radiation (SR) usage will be presented. \nWe were pioneers in the f
 ield of SR use for nanostructural researches of biological tissues. C.S. H
 olmes was the first to demonstrate the advantages of SR in studying the st
 ructure of biological objects in 1971 on the DESY station (Hamburg). We be
 gan to conduct systematic experimental works with SR in 1972. At that time
 \, there were only two accelerators available for use as sources of SR in 
 the X-ray range: the ARUS synchrotron at the Yerevan Institute of Physics\
 , and the VEPP-3 storage ring at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics i
 n Novosibirsk\, which is still a world-class experimental SR site. \nThe c
 reation and development of a method for high-speed small-angle X-ray diffr
 actometry must be considered a fundamental methodological success of this 
 period\, since the minimum exposition time was reduced to a fraction of a 
 second. Difraction cinema for the first time has been created by the large
  team of scientists from Novosibirsk and Pushchino\, which for many years 
 ranked ahead of other laboratories abroad. Last decade works are conducted
  on the small-angle stations DIKSI (Siberia-2\, NRC «Kurchatov institute
 »\, Moscow).\nSR is promising for application in structural biology. Spec
 ific features of SR (relatively high intensity\, broad radiation spectrum\
 , and coherence) allow us to obtain structural data on objects whose sizes
  range from fractions of a nanometer to several centimeters. In living sys
 tems\, we can study the functional range from single molecules to cells\, 
 tissues\, and even organs\, so that the object can be characterized compre
 hensively.\nThe research was supported by RFBR-Moscow region Grant #14-44-
 03667.\n\nhttps://indico.inp.nsk.su/event/3/contributions/1186/
