사양기간(飼養期間)이 서로 다른 닭의 골격근에서 actomyosin 을 추출하여 추출성과 생물 활성을 비교하였다. 가슴부위에서 추출한 actomyosin의 추출성은 사양기간(飼養期間)이 3,4,5,6,7주(週)의 순으로 각각 184.5, 364.0, 784.8, 926.1, 985.2, 1020.1 mg/100g 이었고 다리부위는 각각 28.6, 70.8, 137.9, 139.5, 608.3 그리고 646.2mg/100g 이었다. 사양기간(飼養期間)이 3,6,8주(週)인 경우 24시간 추출한 actomyosin의 EDTA-ATPpase활성은 각각 0.68, 0.59, 0.50${mu}M$ Pi/mg protein min. 이었고 Mg^{+2}$-ATPase 활성은 각각 0.66, 0.71, 0.75 $0.50;{mu}M$ Pi/mg protein min.이었고 Mg^{+2}$-ATPase 활성은 각각 0.66, 0.71, $0.75;{mu}moles$ Pi-mg protein/min.이었다. 사양기간(飼養期間)에 관계없이 actomyosin 의 3, 6, 8 Mg^{+2}$-ATPase 활성은 저(低) ion 강도에서 높은 활성과 rh(高) ion 강도에서 낮은 biphasic response를 나타내었고 $125;{mu}mole$ EGTA로서 Mg^{+2}$-ATPase 활성을 $0.1;{mu}mole/mg$ protein/min 이하로 저해시켰다.
It was investigated about extractability and biological property(ATPase activity) of actomyosin from skeletal muscle of chi(:ken differed feeding period. The extractabilities of actomyosin from pectoral muscle were increased from 184.5 to 1020.1 mg per 100g muscle as feeding period prolonged from 3 weeks to 8 weeks. In case of leg-muscles, extractability was revealed the similar tendency as pectoral muscles. EDTA ATPase activity of actomyosin in various chicken muscles for 3 weeks feeding was 0.6 Brmole Piimg Protein/min., 0.59 for 6 Iveeks feeding and 0.50 for 8 weeks. The Ma^{+2}$-ATPase of actomyosin in various chicken muscles was showed inverted relationship with ionic strength. EGTA ($125;{mu}mole$)inhibited Ma^{+2}$-ATPase activity to below $0.1;{mu}mole$ Pi/mg protein/min. regardless the feeding period.
