Abstract
The volume change occurring on polymerizing actin was measured by dilatometry. A large positive value of + 391 ml/mole was obtained for the volume change during the transformation of G- to F-actin. This large increase in volume could be interpreted as arising from the local change in the ordered water structure on the protein's surface at polymerizing sites.Entities:
