Electron-microscopic mapping of the hinge region of myosin

  • Murray Vernon King
Specialia Chimica, Biochimica

Summary

The trypsin-sensitive sites in the labile hinge region of the myosin molecule are located with heightened accuracy (±2 nm) by electron microscopy as lying at 70, 85, 95, and 103 nm from the C-terminus of the rod section of the molecule.
