Synopsis
The conformation of heparin in water was investigated by intermediate-angle x-ray scattering (IAXS). The theoretical scattering function for the coil conformation was calculated by the Monte Carlo method using the approximation of separable conformation energies and the conformation energies computed for two disaccharide pairs in heparin. From x-ray scattering in a relatively small-angle region, the conformation of heparin is not the ordered 21 helix conformation but the coil conformation obtained by the Monte Carlo calculation. It is expected, from x-ray scattering in a relatively wide-angle region, that the sulfate groups of heparin maintain about 7 A between them.

Small-angle x-ray scattering from solid solutions of different molecular weight fractions of partially brominated polystyrene in polystyrene has been studied. The results of this study indicate that polymer chains in bulk have a radius of gyration proportional to the square root of molecular weight,
