Some observations on bipolar filaments formed by non-muscle myosins

J E Hesketh et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Adrenal medullary and retinal myosins formed bipolar filaments in vitro. These filaments showed features suggesting flexibility in the rod region of the myosin molecules composing such filaments; in certain cases the myosin heads spread away from the filament backbone, in others the backbone itself was twisted. In addition the bare central backbone showed transverse striations.
