Abstract
The cold-induced depolymerization of F(ADP)-actin [from rabbit muscle], coupled with the repolymerization by ATP, was employed to study the formation of F(ATP)-actin. The cold-induced lability of F(ADP)-actin, together with the spontaneous fragmentation of the filament, provides a mechanism for the selective preservation of homogeneous F(ATP)-actin.
