This thesis describes a Mossbauer effect and electron
paramagnetic resonance study of iron (III) tetraphenylporphyrinatobenzenethiolate
benzene thiol, an analog compound
for bacterial cytochrome P-450. The compound is unusual in
that it provides a model for the two ferric reaction states
of cytochrome P-450. The iron in the model compound exhibits...
Lamellar x-ray diffraction was studied from thin films of L-α-1,2-dipalmitoyl lecithin (DPL) and a 1:1 mixture (BrDPL) of L-α-l-palmitoyl-2-(9- bromopaimitoyl) lecithin and its 10-bromo analog. The specimens had high lamellar order, with an upper bound on the mosaicity of 6 mrad (0.4°) for DPL and BrDPL. With various water contents,...
The observed and calculated structural parameters of three systems
of phosphatidylcholine bilayers in fully-hydrated multilamellar
vesicles (MLVs) were determined using x-ray diffraction techniques.
The analysis used the x-ray reflections from the low-, intermediateand
wide-angle regions of the diffraction patterns in the subgel, gel,
rippled and fluid phases to determine the...
