[Ultrastructure of actomyosin filaments]
Biofizika
|March 1, 1982
Abstract:
Investigation of the fine structure of actomyosin filaments indicates that mechanical pressing of protein film (during preparation of the filaments) results in parallel alignment of the filament along the longitudinal axis. Contraction by ATP results in a condensation of the filament system. Heat denaturation is accompanied by destruction of the filament system.
