title: [Tryptophan phosphorescence of nascent and inactivated actin at the room temperature].
abstract: Millisecond internal dynamics of native and inactivated actin from rabbit skeletal muscle was examined using room temperature phosphorescence. Inactivated actin was prepared by incubation of G-actin at 70 degrees C, by treatment with 4 M urea or 1.5 M guanidinium hydrochloride, renaturation from fully unfolded state or by Ca2+ ion removal. It was shown that inactivation of actin, irrespective of the denaturation procedure applied, leads to a sharp decrease of millisecond fluctuations of the protein structure. Restriction of the slow intramolecular mobility in inactivated actin can result from changes of the protein conformation and/or specific association of macromolecules.
