Rayleigh light scattering and its applications to biochemical analysis

The recent applications of light scattering technique in biochemical analys is have been reviewed. The mechanic theories of resonance light scattering and Rayleigh light scattering (RLS), the relationships and differences betw een them, their applications and the interference factors in biochemistry a nalysis have been covered. By contrasting Rayleigh light scattering with do uble scattering and anti-scattering, the advantages of RLS have been pointe d out. Finally, some prospects for the future application of this technique have been given.
