    Abstract:
    The dependence of F-actin conformational changes induced by the F-actin-HMM complex on pH and ionic strength was found by polarized ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy. It is discovered that pH affects sufficiently the cooperativity of F-actin structural changes, while the ionic strength affects their depth. The actomyosin complex was supposed to be at least in two structural states, differing in their orientation as well as in flexibility of F-actin monomers.
