SARCOPLASMIC PROTEINS OF WHITE MUSCLE OF AN ANTARCTIC HEMOGLOBIN-FREE FISH, CHAMPSOCEPHALUS-GUNNARI

1. 1. The protein composition of the sarcoplasm of Champsocephalus gunnari white muscle has been examined by ultracentrifugation and starch-gel electrophoresis. 2. 2. The extracts have been fractionated by several methods in order to compare them more closely to similar extracts of other fish species and to isolate creatine kinase and the parvalbumins IV and V. 3. 3. The creatine kinase does not appear to differ from other fish creatine kinases. Both parvalbumins are also very similar to other parvalbumins except that they are more easily oxidized than all the parvalbumins described so far. © 1979.
