Abstract
IT was shown in a previous article in NATURE1 that some information regarding the shape and dimensions of the haemoglobin molecule can be derived from examination of the X-ray pattern of horse methaemoglobin crystals at different shrinkage stages. Further development has now led to the computation of direct Fourier syntheses which show a one-dimensional projection of the distribution of scattering matter in the hæmoglobin molecule.
