The Molecular Architecture for the Intermediate Filaments of Hard α-Keratin Based on the Superlattice Data Obtained from a Study of Mammals Using Synchrotron Fibre Diffraction

Figure 3

Typical off-centre diffraction patterns of 5 mammals taken on ChemMatCARS showing meridional reflections extending beyond the 5.15 nm reflection, the 91st order of the 46.7 nm lattice. These patterns reflect the wealth of diffraction from such keratin samples.
