title: Cryo-electron microscopy of myelin treated with detergents.
abstract: After detergent extraction, myelin lamellae disaggregate into diverse globular fragments that correspond to the globular structures observed in normal cryofixed myelin. The interaction of these structural units in the bilayer is probably the morphological basis that provides the stability of the myelin lamellae and their lamination.
