Acid dissociation enables myosin subunit separation; leaves open structural insights for muscle protein research.

To characterize the dissociation behavior and subunit separation of myosin under acidic conditions.
Exposed purified myosin preparations to acidic environments to evaluate conformational integrity and subunit stability.
Acidic conditions induce the dissociation of the native myosin macromolecule into distinct subunits.
The disruption of intermolecular contacts demonstrates a strong dependence on low pH for subunit release.

Szuchet et al. (1974) studied this question.
