A hypothesis concerning the absorption of atmospherics in photo gelatin films

Abstract

Gelatin is a protein, consisting of long polypeptide chains which form left-handed triple helixes. Incident atmospherics impulses can change the bond angles of distinct atoms (the socalled Cα-atoms) in these structures. This mechanism alters the widths of the pores in gelatin and thus determines the diffusion behavior of ions penetrating that material.
