Skeletal muscle myosin monomer in equilibrium with filaments forms a folded conformation
T Katoh, K Konishi, M Yazawa - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 - ASBMB
Rabbit skeletal myosin forms stable filaments under physiological conditions, and only a
small amount stays as a monomer in equilibrium with filaments. The myosin monomers were
observed in two conformational states, as extended and folded forms upon electron
microscopy and gel filtration high performance liquid chromatography. The fraction of
monomers in the folded conformation increased with a decrease in the concentration of
NaCl below 0.2 m, and the conformational state was affected neither by the presence of ATP …
