X-ray diffraction from a single crystal of the small ribosomal subunit
of Thermus thermophilus was measured at five wavelengths near the K-a
bsorption edge of phosphorus. The intensity of the low-order diffracti
on peaks varies strongly with the wavelength. It is influenced by the
dispersion of contrast due to the P atoms of the ribosomal ribonucleic
acid and by that of absorption, in comparable amounts.
