Abstract
THE intracellular protein components of skeletal muscle are known generally as myosin, globulin X, myogen and myoalbumin. Myosin, the globulin which is probably directly related to the contractile process, is the major component, according to analyses carried out on rabbit and fish muscle. The remaining components have not been well characterized as individual proteins. For this reason it seemed desirable to attempt the crystallization of muscle albumin (myogen), adopting the technique employed by McMeekin1 for the separation of the serum proteins.
