Contrast-Matching Detergent in Small-Angle Neutron ...
For detergent micelles, this substitution can be performed using a detergent with the same head group but having a deuterated alkyl chain (d-tail instead of h-tail). Since the detergents are well-mixed, 35 their aggregates will have a scattering length density that is the mole-fraction weighted average of the two components (h-tails and d-tails ...
