Cite This Study

Wegner et al. (1988) studied this question. Tropomyosin was evaluated on Rate constant for binding of tropomyosin to actin filaments. The rate constant for binding of tropomyosin to actin filaments was determined to be approximately 2.5 x 10^6 to 4 x 10^6 M-1 s-1 under the specified experimental conditions.
