X-ray diffraction from oriented outer mitochondrial membranes. Detection of in-plane subunit structure.
X-ray diffraction patterns from ultracentrifugally oriented specimens of plant outer mitochondrial membranes show five distinct maxima in the equatorial direction. These diffraction maxima arise from in-plane subunits whose dimensions are consistent with those of the features ("pits") seen in electron micrographs of the membranes in negative stain.
