When calculating a dihedral angle, how is the direction defined? What are the most common convention?

I understand the geometry and calculation of a dihedral angle. It is not clear how the direction is defined. On the wiki page for dihedral angles, it states that, "the dihedral angle \phi is the...

Does scattering intensity (SAXS/WAXS/SANS/XRD/LS) have the SI units of intensity W/m^2?

Does scattering intensity (SAXS/WAXS/SANS/XRD/LS) have the SI units of intensity W/m^2? I saw a publication which reported a quantity in units of [(I(Q)-1)^2]/I(Q) which would only make sense if...

How do I calculate the partial specific volume of a DNA-protein complex?

I believe this is a fairly straightforward calculation but simply something I am not yet familiar with. I have a solution of a DNA-protein complex (about 50/50 DNA/protein by weight). I need to...
