MEDUSA: A cloud-based tool for the analysis of X-ray diffuse scattering to obtain the bending modulus from oriented membrane stacks.

An important mechanical property of cells is their membrane bending modulus, κ. Here, we introduce MEDUSA (MEmbrane DiffUse Scattering Analysis), a cloud-based analysis tool to determine the bending modulus, κ, from the analysis of X-ray diffuse scattering. MEDUSA uses GPU (graphics processing unit)...
