The scattering functions of randomly oriented filaments of finite length exhibiting two orders of helicity have been calculated. It is shown to a good approximation that each order scatters as if present alone as a first order helix of the same contour length and pitch angle. These results show that the measured scattering pattern from dissolved superhelical DNA molecules is consistent with the scattering pattern calculated for a coiled coil geometry.
已计算出具有两种螺旋度的有限长度随机取向细丝的散射函数。结果表明,在很好的近似程度上,每个螺旋度的散射就好像它单独作为具有相同轮廓长度和螺距角的一阶螺旋存在时那样。这些结果表明,从溶解的超螺旋DNA分子测得的散射图案与为卷曲螺旋几何结构计算出的散射图案一致。
