Article Synopsis
- The experimental neutron cross sections for all 20 standard amino acids were measured over a range of energies from 1 meV to 10 keV, using advanced calculation techniques.
- The dominant contribution to scattering comes from hydrogen atoms, and the results simplify the modeling of complex organic systems like proteins and tissues by averaging functional group contributions.
- These findings enhance transport simulations for medical applications, particularly in therapies such as boron neutron capture therapy and proton therapy, while also improving the accuracy of neutron scattering experiments on biological samples.
