MeSH Heading: Spectroscopy, Mossbauer
Tree Number(s): E05.196.867.776.751
Unique ID: D015204
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015204
Annotation: a type of spectrum anal; NIM
Scope Note: A spectroscopic technique which uses the Mossbauer effect (inelastic scattering of gamma radiation resulting from interaction with heavy nuclei) to monitor the small variations in the interaction between an atomic nucleus and its environment. Such variations may be induced by changes in temperature, pressure, chemical state, molecular conformation, molecular interaction, or physical site. It is particularly useful for studies of structure-activity relationship in metalloproteins, mobility of heavy metals, and the state of whole tissue and cell membranes.
Entry Term(s): Mossbauer Spectroscopy; Nuclear Gamma Resonance Spectroscopy
