title: The model membrane system. Egg lecithin + myelin protein (N-2). Effect of solvent density variation on the X-ray scattering.
abstract: The electron density contrast method has been applied to the membrane system egg lecithin + myelin protein (N-2). The case treated here is for a low protein concentration. As theory predicts, the scattering from the different regions of the membrane (protein, hydrocarbon, and polar head group regions) are modulated differently by changing the contrast. It is then possible to separate out the electron pair correlation functions for the different regions, and from these to determine the membrane election density distribution for an external electron density p0 = 0.
