  • Title: A dynamic x-ray diffraction study of anesthesia action. Thickening of the myelin membrane by n-pentane.
    Author: Padron R, Mateu L, Requena J.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1979 Apr 19; 552(3):535-9. PubMed ID: 312661.
    Abstract:
    The structural changes induced in the myelin sheath by n-pentane nerve impulse blockage were studied by small-angle X-ray diffraction using a linear position-sensitive detector. The results show that the thickness of the myelin period lattice increases from 170 to 180 A during n-pentane treatment.
