Abstract
The rapid release of a substrate or other ligand from photolabile precursors in a thin layer suspension of biological specimens followed by rapid freezing provides a method of trapping and visualizing short-lived states in a dynamic system. We demonstrate here the first successful application of this method to study the interaction of actin filaments with myosin subfragment 1 (S1) after release of nucleotides. The results obtained suggest that structural changes in actin filaments occur as a result of interaction with S1.
