Electron microscopy of cross-linked scallop myosin.
The N-terminal regions of the regulatory light chains on the two heads of scallop myosin can be cross-linked to one another. Electron microscopy of cross-linked myosin molecules, and of dimers of myosin subfragment-1 produced by digesting them with papain, shows that the site of cross-linking is very close to the head-rod junction.
