Abstract
I RECENTLY summarized X-ray diffraction data from some natural membranes to show that the original Danielli-Davson model is not valid for them1. A second widely-discussed structural model, having protein inserted into a lipid bilayer, was put forward as an alternative. I wish to add here that the low angle X-ray diffraction patterns of these membranes show regular changes in proportion to the protein content and that the changes are accounted for by the alternative model.
