Looking at long molecules in solution: what happens when they are subjected to Couette flow?

Knowing the structure of a molecule is one of the keys to deducing its function in a biological system. However, many biomacromolecules are not amenable to structural characterisation by the powerful techniques often used namely NMR and X-ray diffraction because they are too large, or too flexible or simply refuse to crystallize. Long molecules such as DNA and fibrous proteins are two such clas...
