Abstract
Electron microscopy of negatively stained samples indicates that caldesmon induces polymerization of Gactin into filaments. Polymerization takes place in a very low ionic strength solution and is accompanied by an increase of intensity of fluorescence of G‐actin labelled with N‐(1‐pyrenyl)iodoacetamide. The effect of caldesmon is abolished by calmodulin in the presence of Ca2+Keywords
