The use of neutron scattering is particularly suited for the                    analysis of protein-nucleic acid complexes and membranes because                of the relatively large difference in neutron scattering between                hydrogen and deuterium.  This difference makes it easy to                       distinguish deuterium labeled proteins from unlabeled proteins,                 lipids and nucleic acids.  In protein crystallography, neutrons                 reveal the presence of hydrogen and/or deuterium atoms with their               intricate hydrogen bonding.  Hydrogen-deuterium exchange studies                provide information on dynamic properties of protein structures                 and provide detailed description of specific charge transfer                    mechanisms.                                                                                                                                                     The Brookhaven Neutron Scattering Facilities provides three                     automatic data acquisition systems with 2D detectors for                        protein crystallography, membrane diffraction and small angle                   scattering for the use of biologists through the U.S.  The                      facility also provides technical and scientific staff for                       efficient running and maintenance of the facilities,                            as well as provision of "biological neutron" expertise for                      users unfamiliar with neutron scattering techniques.
