[Paracrystallic, intraplasmatic inclusion bodies in human hepatocytes: a structural analytic study (author's transl)].

Electron micrographs from intraplasmatic inclusion bodies of human hepatocytes are described; these paracrystallic aggregations consist of helically arranged filaments. All the observed periodic structures within these bodies can be indicated as originating from the same compound by the use of the Frauenhofer diffraction pattern. Concerning the genesis of these characteristically structured bodies two possibilities are discussed: 1. A special polymeric form of fibrinogen and fibrin built up in vivo. 2. Polymerization of a monomeric enzyme, for example, glutamate dehydrogenase, to paracrystallic bodies by fixation-dependent cross-linkages.

Twisted fibrils are a structural principle in the assembly of interstitial collagens, chordae tendineae included.

X-ray diffraction analysis of connective tissue samples, which contain type I and type III collagen shows that twisted collagen fibrils are a general principle of assembly. The occurrence of twisted fibrils in native wet Chordae tendineae, skin and Aorta is combined with a shorter axial periodicity of about 65 nm. This shorter D period is shown to be directly related to the tilt of the molecules, which have to be curved to build-up twisted fibrils.
