Abstract
Myofibres from pig were classified generally into two types based on their reaction for myosin ATPase. Type I had a strong reaction for acid-stable myosin ATPase and a weak or negative reaction for alkali-stable ATPase; type II had the reciprocal properties. Types SM, SS and MS were defined and considered to represent types intermediate between I and II; they possibly reflect the dynamic situation of transformation of properties. Experimental results showed the sensitivity of the histochemically demonstrated enzyme to small shifts in pH.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
