X-ray Diffraction Pattern of Nerve Myelin: A Method for Determining the Phases

M. F. Moody 1

1 Gordon A. Alles Laboratory for Molecular Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena

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.
