title: Giant polypeptides of skeletal muscle titin: sedimentation equilibrium in guanidine hydrochloride.
abstract: Titin has been purified from rabbit skeletal myofibrils in guanidine hydrochloride by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-1000. The sedimentation coefficients of denatured titin in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride are highly concentration dependent and follow the equation: 1/S = 0.241 + 0.302 A280. Equilibrium sedimentation studies indicate that the average molecular weight of titin polypeptides is 2.4 to 2.6 X 10(6).
