The axial relationship between the collagen and mineral componetns in calcified turkey leg tendon was investigated using low-angle X-ray and neutron diffraction. The results indicate that the mineral is arranged with the same axial periodicity as the collagen and occupies the gap region of the collagen structure.
利用低角度X射线和中子衍射研究了钙化火鸡腿肌腱中胶原蛋白和矿物质成分之间的轴向关系。结果表明,矿物质的排列与胶原蛋白具有相同的轴向周期性,并占据了胶原蛋白结构的间隙区域。
