Abstract

Osmium tetroxide and potassium permanganate destroy F-actin filaments in vitro, and split actin molecules into smaller peptides. It is shown by viscometry, spectrophotometry, electrophoresis and electron microscopy that the destruction of F-actin by these agents is inhibited by phalloidin. Other proteins are unprotected.
