    Abstract:
    Increase of anisotropy of F-actin fluorescence of balanus and rabbit muscle fibers under the influence of ATP, AMP and pyrophosphate in EGTA presence was detected by means of the polarized ultraviolet (UV) fluorescent microscopy methods. The fluorescence anisotropy changes are assumed to be associated with the conformational changes in the actin. ATP cause more noticeable changes of actin structure, than pyrophosphate and AMP. The conformational changes in the actin of balanus and rabbit muscle fibres were similar. ATP and its analogs induced also decrease of UV fluorescence anisotropy of A-band which appears to be associated with conformational changes in myosin. It was siggested that the changes in fluorescence of anisotropy of A-bands are due to structural changes in both HMM and LMM parts of myosin molecule.
