Abstract:
:The ultrastructural organization of elastin has been studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy of negatively stained specimens coupled with optical diffraction analyses. Purified elastin results from a composite assembly of interwoven branched and twisted thread-like entities of decreasing diameter. The ultimate filamentous component is a rope-like structure each with an overall diameter of 3.5-4.0 nm consisting of paired filaments of indefinite length each 1.5 nm in width and periodically linked longitudinally at a varying distance of 3.5 to 4.5 nm depending on the degree of stretch.
