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 Mg(2+)-activated actomyosin ATPase in contraction of live muscle.
