X-ray diffraction patterns have been recorded from native rat-tail tendon and from rat-tail tendon treated with phosphotungstic acid. The reciprocal space coordinates of a number of Bragg reflections were determined and used to determine both the unit cell of the lattice and its orientation with res...
