Protein description
|
G-actin from rabbit skeletal muscle is a single chain polypeptide with a molecular weight of 42kD consisting of 375 amino acids. TMR-Actin is chemically modified G-actin, carrying a tetramethlyrhodamine group covalently bound to Cys374 at the C-term of the molecule, rendering the actin unpolymerizable.
|
Conjugation ratio
|
TMR-Actin is supplied with a DOL=0.9-1 (DOL -Degree of labelling).
