Materials and Methods Actin Purification. Actin was purified from acetone powder of muscle from New Zealand white male rabbits as described by Pardee and Spudich (1982). The procedure was modified by replacing Tris-HCl with HEPES (HEPES, 2 mM, pH 8.0; NaATP, 0.2 mM; CaCl2, 0.2 mM; and mercaptoethanol, 0.5 mM) for any measurement involving heat denaturation. G-Actin was polymerized to F-actin by raising the concen-tration of NaATP to 1 mM and by adding 50 mM KC1 and 2 mM MgCl2 to the previous buffer. Formation of filaments was monitored by using electron microscopy. The purity of the protein was checked by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), as described by Laemmli (1970), using a Bio-Rad miniprotean II system. The protein concentration was determined by UV absorption (Ģ2go= 6.3) for G-actin. The concentration of F-actin was obtained by determination of the nitrogen content as described by Lowry et al.(1951). Differential Scanning Microcalorimetry. DSC was per-formed with a MC-2 scanning calorimeter (Amherst, MA) interfaced to an AT & Tpc 6300 personal computer through an A/D converter (DT 2801 board). The software was provided by the manufacturer as a data acquisition package (EMF software). The data analysis of this package is based on the deconvolution procedure of Freire and Biltonen (1978a—c). In this procedure, the partition function of the system is directly obtained from DSC data, and a DSC spectrum can beresolved into either multiple independent or sequential two-state pro-cesses. The capacity of the calorimeter cell is 1.241 mL, and all the available heating rates, between 0.16 and 1.5 K/min, were used. Proteins were dialyzed overnight against the reference buffer, and concentrations ranging from 1.2 to 13 mg/mL were used, with no noticeable effect on the enthalpy and Tm. Baselines were drawn as a straight line from the 7) to the Tf of the transition, thetwo temperatures being the initial and the final temperatures, respectively, for analysis from a DSC curve (Takahashi et al., 1981). The van’t Hoff enthalpy was calculated by means of the partition function Q (Privalov & Potekhin, 1986): AHyli=
