TL;DR
The simplest explanation of these results is that tryptic digestion of heavy meromyosin produces two subfragments, each of which binds pyrophosphate, hydrolyzes ATP, and has the ability to combine with actin.
Abstract
The binding of pyrophosphate to myosin, heavy meromyosin, and Subfragment 1 was studied by an equilibrium dialysis technique.Myosin binds approximately 2 (1.82) moles/5 X lo5 g of protein, K = 2.07 X 10".Identical

The results obtained show that the filaments are structurally polarized, and in muscle are arranged so that all of them attached on one side of a given Z-line point in one direction, whilst those on the other are oppositely oriented.

502 Citations1960W. Wayne Kielley, William F. Harrington
A model for the myosin molecule is proposed,based on three equal weight polypeptide chains in the form of a three-stranded α rope, based on X-ray diffraction, light scattering and optical rotatory data.

The wide angle α -type X-ray diagram of the meromyosins, in conjunction with their hydrodynamic and rotatory dispersion properties, suggests a formal model for myosin consisting of a rod having a two-chain α -helical coiled-coil conformation, with globular portion(s) projecting from the helical core in HMM.

The isolation of the two subunits of myosin, obtained after short digestion by trypsin, were termed L- and H-meromyosins (“L” stands for light, “H” for heavy).

Molecular weight studies indicate that the mass of electrophoretically homogeneous G-actin is close to 46,000 g per mole, which implies that globular actin is constructed from a single, covalently linked polypeptide chain.

The data strongly suggest a relationship, and do not rule out the possibility that actin and tropomyosin may be subunits in the myosin molecule.

The general topography of the myosin molecule has been elucidated by electron microscopy of shadow-cast preparations and it is shown that the structure of the molecule is determined by a correspondence between the number of residues in the molecule and the direction of travel.

The hydrolysis of myosin by a water-insoluble polyanionic derivative of trypsin (IMET) has been studied with the pH-stat and by sedimentation velocity experiments, but the fast reaction no longer parallels the formation of the meromyosins, and the total number of peptide bonds available for enzymic Hydrolysis is markedly reduced.
