    OX HAEMOGLOBIN - fSELIMIMMST X-RAY STUDIES F.H.C. Crick Medical Research Council Unit for the Study of the Molecular Structure of Biological Systems, Cavendish Laboratory, Cartridge, England. (Received 23 February 19$6) swmw Crystals of the carbone monoxide compound of <m haemoglobin grown in aimnonium sulphate, are orthorhombic j space group £%%%» the aspraetric unit consists of on© haemoglobin molecule (molecular weight 68,(XX)). A study of the very low order intensities shows fede the approximate positions of the molecules in the unit cell. The Patterson projection along one axis reselles that of the a axis projection of monoclinic horse haemoglobin, and suggests that the molecules of the two' species may have certain broad features in common.
