I used Google. I started with a search for

Jardetsky Maas

That did not get many results, so I accepted Google's advice to
change the spelling to

Jardetzky Maas

Jardetzky has co-authored a lot with another Maas, so I went to advanced
search, and excluded "Maas, EV".

The top two hits did not look useful. The third hit was the on-line
paper that referenced your paper. That gave me the journal abbreviation
"Biophys. J" and the year 1978. A Google search for "biophys journal"
got me its home page, and then it was just a matter of scanning the
issue-by-issue index for 1978.

It's amazing what Google can do if you twist it the right way.

This is more likely to be a review article referencing your paper, than
to have a copy of the paper you want.

>> Only the abstract is available on-line.

In support of this, the Biophysical Journal web site says "Abstracts
only: Jan 1976 - Dec 1997". The lack of Google hits for title keyword
and first author also argues against the paper being stored in any
on-line archive.
