Structural analysis of membranes by means of a nuclear reaction
Description
A narrow nuclear resonance in low-energy proton-induced nuclear reactions in the stable isotope 18O has been utilized in a new technique for investigating the structure of biological membranes. This technique leads to a direct determination of the density profile of 18O-labelled molecules. Results with a multilayer of egg lecithin and with erythrocyte ghosts demonstrate the applicability of the method to structural analysis. (author)
