Abstract
AS a first step toward generalizing the relationship between tropomyosin, actin and myosin found for rabbit skeletal muscle1, we have prepared and examined tropomyosins from the different types of mammalian muscle (cardiac, uterine and smooth), from lower classes within the vertebrate phylum (amphibian, fish and cyclostome) and from representatives of different invertebrate phyla (arthropod, mollusc, echinoderm, annelid and nemertian).
