  • Abstract
    The sliding velocity of actin filaments was found to increase in the presence of ATP analogues. At 0.5 mM ATP, the presence of 2.0 mM of AMP-PNP enhanced the filament velocity from 3.2 up to 4.5 μm/s. However, 2 mM ADP decreased the velocity down to 1.1 μm/s. The results suggest that the complex conformations of myosin cross-bridges interacting with an actin filament in the presence of ATP analogues makes the entire filament move faster.
