Another ongoing project at the LIQREF beamline targeting a low mutated component within the SARS-CoV-2 spike to understand the entry of viruses into host cells is highlighted at ORNL/Neutron Division news. Neutron reflectometry experiments are performed in a wet condition that allows the protein to retain its natural motions.
