Heart proteins. Prevention of the denaturation of actomyosin by sodium glutamate.
The storage of actomyosin isolated from bovine heart for one week either at +4 degrees or frozen at -5 degrees results in deep structural changes in the molecule of actomyosin, while storage of the actomyosin at the mentioned temperatures in the presence of sodium glutamate preserved the characteristic structure of actomyosin molecule as revealed by electron microscopy.
