title: Calorimetric studies on monomeric and polymeric actin.
abstract: Differential scanning calorimetry of polymeric F-actin at pH 8.0 showed that the polymer had a concentration-independent thermal profile with a single transition temperature of 81 degrees C. In contrast, the thermal profile of G-actin was concentration-dependent, and although it resembled the F-actin profile at lower concentrations, it was found to have a more complex profile at higher protein concentrations.
