FRET analysis of actin-myosin interaction in contracting rat aortic smooth muscle.

abstract：:This Symposium includes 15 presentations and an editorial review dealing with prorenin activation and function. It comes 20 years after prorenin was first reported in various contexts and attracted attention because of its connection with renin--angiotensin, its high concentration relative to renin in the blood, and i...
