Fig. 2.
SAXS contour maps shown for (a) wild type and (b) oim/oim bone. The shape of contours shifted from peanut-shaped contours for wild type to near-circular contours for oim/oim bone, indicating a lack of preferential alignment of mineral crystals in oim/oim bone; (c) The integrated intensity defined as the area under the peak of 3rd order SAXS diffraction peak was considered as a measure of the amount of intrafibrillar mineralization present in bone. Oim/oim bone showed significant reduction in intrafibrillar mineralization.
