2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) increases the affinity of myosin for actin and accelerates its Mg(2+)ATPase activity, suggesting that it acts on a region of the myosin head that transmits conformational changes to actin- and ATP-binding sites. The binding site/s for DNP are

Immune complexes were formed between dinitrophenylated human serum albumin (DNP-HSA) and polyclonal rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) anti-DNP antibodies at antibody excess. The antigen was labelled with isotope (125I-tyramine-cellobiose) or fluorochrome, (6-[fluorescein-5-(and-6)-carboxamido] hexanoic-acid, succinimidyl ester). The radiolabelled antigen, native or antibody
