1976FEBS Lett. LXVII. 119/1 It has been inferred that at least some myosin molecules exist which are homo-dimeric in respect of A1 light-chains. 1979Nature 29 Nov. 522/2 By comparing the electrophoretic patterns of homodimeric molecules with whole myosin in non-denaturing gels, it has been possible to demonstrate conclusively the existence of a light chain heterodimer. |
