Molecular Organization in the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Membrane studied by X-ray Diffraction

Abstract

Orientated preparations of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles give X-ray diffraction maxima to a resolution of 16 Å. The calculated electron density profile shows that protein is distributed very asymmetrically in the membrane.
