Smooth muscle myosin mutants containing a single tryptophan reveal molecular interactions at the actin-binding interface.

abstract：:We have isolated from vaccinia virus cores an enzyme, 5'-phosphate-polyribonucleotide kinase, that in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ catalyzes the conversion of 5'-phosphate and 5'-diphosphate termini of RNA to the 5'-triphosphate species. With the exception of dATP, other nucleoside triphosphates were inactive as phosp...
