Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2004 Mar 23 101(12):4083-8 p. 4087 left column doi: 10.1073/pnas.0307332101PubMed ID15016920 |
| Method | Solution x-ray scattering (SXS). SXS permits direct determination of the distance (d) between the highly electron-dense phosphate groups across the bilayer of membranes in solution. |
