The Mean

Feasibility of isomorphous substitution in electron diffraction is supported by a calculation of the mean alteration of the electron-diffraction structure factors for hemoglobin crystals caused by substituting two mercury atoms per molecule, following Green, Ingram & Perutz, but with allowance for the proportionality of f to Z3/4 for electron diffraction. This yields a mean net change in F of 12.5%, as contrasted with 22.8% for x-ray diffraction.Use of the hydration chamber in electron diffraction opens prospects for examining many proteins that yield only very thin crystals not suitable for x-ray diffraction. Examination in the wet state avoids treatments that could cause translocation of the heavy-atom labels or distortion of the crystal. Combined with low-fluence techniques, it enables study of the protein in a state as close to native as possible.We have undertaken a study of crystals of rat hemoglobin by electron diffraction in the wet state. Rat hemoglobin offers a certain advantage for hydration-chamber work over other hemoglobins in that it can be crystallized from distilled water instead of salt solutions.

Isoguanine, an analogue of guanine, is of intrinsic interest as a noncanonical nucleobase. The crystal structure of isoguaninium chloride (systematic name: 6-amino-2-oxo-1H,7H-purin-3-ium chloride), C5H6N5O+·Cl−, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structure analysis was supported by electrostatic interaction energy (E es) calculations based on charge density reconstructed with the UBDB databank. In the structure, two kinds of molecular tapes are observed, one parallel to (010) and the other parallel to (50\overline{4}). The tapes are formed by dimers of isoguaninium cations interacting with chloride anions. E es analysis indicates that cations in one kind of tape are oriented so as to minimize repulsive electrostatic interactions.

Polyaniline membranes of aniline were produced using an electrochemical method in a cell consisting of two poles. The effect of the vaccination was observed on the color of membranes of polyaniline, where analysis as of blue to olive green paints. The sanction of PANI was done by FT-IR and Raman techniques. The crystallinity of the models was studied by X-ray diffraction technique. The different electronic transitions of the PANI were determined by UV-VIS spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity of the manufactured samples was measured by using the four-probe technique at room temperature. Morphological studies have been determined by Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The structural studies have been measured by (SEM).

The cell-wall structure of the red alga Rhodymenia palmata has been examined by the methods of X -ray diffraction analysis and electron microscopy, including ultra-thin sectioning. The cell wall is shown to consist of numerous lamellae each of which is made up of unoriented, crystalline microfibrils embedded in an amorphous matrix of other cell-wall constituents. The material can be stretched reversibly up to 100% when wet, and the stretching induces orientation of the microfibrils. The ‘∝ cellulose' fraction, which accounts for only 2 to 7 % of the original dry weight, was isolated chemically and was analyzed by means of hydrolysis and paper chromatographic separation of the resulting sugars, and it was found to be composed of approximately equal quantities of glucose and xylose residues. Chemical treatment of the cell wall was found to cause considerable variations in the X -ray diagrams, which are discussed. It is concluded that the microfibrils contain both glucose and xylose residues in approximately equal proportions and that chemical treatment in this case causes changes in crystallinity of the structural component of the wall. The importance of these findings for the meaning of the term cellulose is discussed. The X -ray diagram of older fronds was found to be complicated by the occurrence of extra rings due to the presence of floridean starch, and the highly elastic properties of the thallus enabled the diagrams of the starch and the cell wall to be separated.
