Diffraction by partially occupied helices.
An expression for cylindrically averaged intensity diffracted by a partially occupied helix (i.e. by a set of identical molecules bound to some, but not all, points of a discrete helix) is derived. The result is compared with previous studies and its application to muscle diffraction is discussed.
