Collagen-mineral axial relationship in calcified turkey leg tendon by X-ray and neutron diffraction

S W White et al. Nature. .

Abstract

The axial relationship between the collagen and mineral componetns in calcified turkey leg tendon was investigated using low-angle X-ray and neutron diffraction. The results indicate that the mineral is arranged with the same axial periodicity as the collagen and occupies the gap region of the collagen structure.
