The study is concerned with the polymerization of myorod, a protein from thick filaments of molluscan smooth muscles, which is an alternative product of the gene of myosin heavy chains. The dependences of the properties and polymer structure of myorod on the conditions of its formation were investigated. It was shown that myorod loses the ability to form viscous polymers after proteolytic removal of the unique sequence. It was supposed that the specificity of polymerization of myorod are determined by its unique N-terminal sequence.
