Figure 2
Measured pattern (left) vsersus calculated pattern (right) for SAXS from mineralized collagen fibrils of intramuscular herring bone. The bone axis is in the vertical direction, corresponding to the meridian of the present fiber symmetry. The equator is perpendicular to the bone axis. The calculated intensity on the right pattern is a combination of two components: (1) the sharp meridional reflections originating from the periodic packing of collagen molecules and mineral crystals along the fibril axis (Burger et al., 2007aBB1); and (2) the fan-shaped near-equatorial diffuse scattering originating from the lateral packing of mineral crystals in organic matrix (Burger et al., 2007bBB2). The fitting parameters for the calculated pattern are listed in Tables 1[link] and 2.
