Abstract
The evidence that rabbit DTNB light chains bind to ‘desensitised’ scallop myosin and restore calcium sensitivity, that is, they functionally replace the scallop EDTA light chain, may suggest that these light chains are involved in some type of calcium regulatory mechanism in rabbit myosin in vivo.
