title: A simple procedure for the preparation of electrophoretically homogeneous alpha-actin from rabbit muscle.
abstract: A simplified procedure for the preparation of alpha-actinin from rabbit skeletal muscle is described. Use is made of the observation that actin is completely eliminated by denaturation, when myofibrils are dissolved in 0.6 M MgCl2 and thereafter MgCl2 is removed by dialysis.
