[The supramolecular organization of oxyhemoglobin in erythrocytes. A small-angle x-ray scattering study].
From X-ray scattering diagrams of concentrated solutions of hemoglobin the pair-correlation function of the molecules is calculated. At a concentration of 324 g/l the distance between neighbouring molecules amounts to 65 A. The number of direct neighbours of one molecule is 9. The pair-correlation function cannot be described by the assumption of a lattice-cell-model; therefore, a lattice-vacancy-model with fluid order is proposed.
