Abstract
The paper of Edsall and Mehl, ‘The effect of denaturing agents on myosin, II. Viscosity and double refraction of flow’, J. Biol. Chem. 133 (1940) 409–429, inspired our research on actin and actomyosin. It led to the specific purification of actin with magnesium ions and to the demonstration of the central role of the Mg2+-activated actomyosin ATPase in contraction of live muscle.
