MECHANISM OF STEP-LIKE KINETICS OF ACTOMY OSIN SUPERPRECIPITATION

it has been shown that a step-like superprecipitation of actomyosin is determined by parallel processes of two types of superprecipitation: <<immediate>>, which is characterized by a rapid one-step increase in turbidity, and <<spontaneous>>, when slow increase growth of turbidity follows a clear phase. It is suggested that this phenomenon is based on heterogenous nature of particle sizes in the original suspension, w hich, under certain conditions, leads to <<conspriction>> of larger pa rticles and <<clearing>> of smaller ones.
