Fast muscle myosin responds in similar way to F-actin and to phalloidin F-actin. It is activated 7.5 fold at infinite F-actin concentration and 6.8 fold at infinite phalloidin F-actin. The actomyosin dissociation constants are 0.89 +/- 0.34 microM with F-actin and 0.90 +/- 0.71 microM with phalloidin F-actin. Slow muscle myosin responds differently to F-actin and to phalloidin F-actin. It is activated 3.76 fold at infinite F-actin concentration and only 2.27 fold at infinite phalloidin F-actin concentration. The actomyosin dissociation constants are 1.95 +/- 1.27 microM with F-actin and 0.27 +/- 0.16 microM with phalloidin F-actin. At first glance this means that substitution of F-actin with phalloidin F-actin magnifies the difference between fast muscle and slow muscle myosins. Furthermore the change of the dissociation constants may affect the contractile force of the attached crossbridge.

Abstract
Fast muscle myosin responds in similar way to F-actin and to phalloidin F-actin. It is activated 7.5 fold at infinite F-actin concentration and 6.8 fold at infinite phalloidin F-actin. The actomyosin dissociation constants are 0.89 +/- 0.34 microM with F-actin and 0.90 +/- 0.71 microM with phalloidin F-actin. Slow muscle myosin responds differently to F-actin and to phalloidin F-actin. It is activated 3.76 fold at infinite F-actin concentration and only 2.27 fold at infinite phalloidin F-actin concentration. The actomyosin dissociation constants are 1.95 +/- 1.27 microM with F-actin and 0.27 +/- 0.16 microM with phalloidin F-actin. At first glance this means that substitution of F-actin with phalloidin F-actin magnifies the difference between fast muscle and slow muscle myosins. Furthermore the change of the dissociation constants may affect the contractile force of the attached crossbridge.Pubblicazioni consigliate
