Description
The structural Biology users of Synchrotron radiation have stablished an organization called (bioSync) since 1990 to promote the access to synchrotrons in using synchrotron radiation to study biological systems. They usually do four different kind of experiments with synchrotron radiation. (1) Macromolecular crystallography, (2) Non-crystalline diffraction, (3) Circular dichroism, (4) Infrared micro spectroscopy. These techniques will help bio-scientists to obtain molecular understanding of structural biology and structure based drug design. To have more accurate information of size and shape of macromolecules and forensic and archaeological information of bone and collagen. To perform better solution studies of biomolecules, imaging of cells and its elements. Adding to their list today further application of synchrotron in biomed has created a great potential with complement of optical confocal microscopy and electron microscopy in X-ray imaging and contrast enhanced stereotactic radiotherapy and microbeam radiation therapy.
The wide applications of Synchrotron in Biosciences have created the possibility of a national multi facility concept to improve the state of science and knowledge of the country and prosperity of the nation in both create jobs and wealth in addition to health improvement.
