SAXS distribution of structural parameters of filaments. (a) Fifth-order collagen peak centered at 12.91 ± 0.02 nm for AAA and (b) fitted by two contributions at 12.87 ± 0.04 nm and 12.90 ± 0.01 nm for PAA; (c) the elastin-fibril-diameter distribution is centered at 101 ± 6 nm for AAA and (d) 106 ± 11 nm for PAA; (e) the myofilament lattice spacing is centered at 39 ± 1 nm for AAA and (f) 41 ± 2 nm for PAA. |
