Structure analysis of polymerized phospholipid bilayer by TED and direct methods.
This paper describes the use of elastic energy filtered transmission electron diffraction combined with Direct Methods in order to study the structure of thin Langmuir-Blodgett films of a radiation sensitive diacetylene polymer (DC8.9PC). We obtain a potential map for one projection by direct phasing of zone axis patterns, and discuss experimental problems and possible solutions.
