Abstract
The equilibrium between G actin and F actin is shifted towards the F actin confirmation with compounds such as the ionic form of magnesium or potassium. The higher amount of F actin decreases the inhibition of nucleases such as DNAse I by monomeric G actin. The increased performance of the nuclease results in better treatment of patients suffering from cystic fibrosis or other diseases with viscous mucus.
