Description:
The changes in adenosine triphosphate-reactivated motility resulting from digestion of Triton-demembranated sea urchin sperm flagella by elastase are those expected if the elastic interdoublet linkages between flagellar microtubules are particularly sensitive to digestion by elastase and take part in regulating the amplitude of flagellar bending.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brokaw, C J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Mar 21;207(4437):1365-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6898364" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
