[Study of Ca2+-binding centers of parvalbumin by the distant fine structure of x-ray absorption spectra]
Abstract:
An investigation of Ca2+-binding centers of parvalbumin II and III by analysing distant fine structure of X-ray absorption spectra of metal was performed. Protein preparations of parvalbumin II and III in which Ca2+ was isomorphically replaced by Tb3+ were studied. For spectra analyses a standard method of Fourier transformation was used. The middle of the first absorption maximum was taken as origin for energy calculations. Comparison of spectra and modules of Fourier transformations for normalized oscillations of the X-ray spectra of absorption of the II and III components, revealed that the spectra and Fourier-transformants coincide in the 2--6 A interval. This allows to infer the coincidence of the coordinate numbers, average interatomic distances and their dispersions in Ca2+-binding centers of the two protein components.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
