X-RAY DIFFRACTION PATTERN OF NERVE MYELIN: A METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE PHASES

M F MOODY. Science. .

Abstract

The x-ray diffraction patterns of normal myelin, and of myelin expanded by soaking in hypotonic solutions, have been compared quantitatively. Application of the "shrinkage stage" method for determining the course of a real Fourier transform allows all but 2 of the 32 possible sign combinations to be eliminated.
