Abstract
IN an investigation of the characteristics of the reaction between actin and myosin and adenosine triphosphate, we have found that it is more complicated than hitherto assumed1,2. Ultracentrifuge studies were made under various conditions in order to obtain further information on the behaviour of these muscle proteins.
