The value of ATPase activity of the myofibril preparations and the value and duration of actomyosin superprecipitation were estimated for different muscles during the chick embryonic development. The ATPase level increases during embryogenesis 4.5-fold, in the leg muscle this change takes place distinctly earlier than in the leg muscle. The value and rate of actomyosin superprecipitation also markedly increase, to a lesser extent for m. soleus than for m. pectoralis. It is suggested that these changes and differences are mainly due to the delay in synthesis of certain types of the embryonic myosin light chains.

Relationship between the characteristics of rigor-mortis-related actomyosin and muscle fiber types in the ordinary muscle of various fishes.

J Sci Food Agric

Laboratory of Food Nutritional Science, Graduate School of Fisheries and Environmental Sciences, Nagasaki University, Nagasaki, Japan.

Background: Rigor mortis occurs when muscle extension vanishes through the irresistible coupling of actin and myosin by the consumption of adenosine triphosphate as energy. To clarify the cause of the differences in the progression of rigor mortis, seven fish species were used as samples. The superprecipitation reaction and Mg -ATPase activity of actomyosin in dorsal ordinary muscle were measured, and the slope of the regression line between these two variables was calculated for each fish specimen.

Taking into consideration the nanodimension of functional components of living cells, the application of nanotechnology in the biomedical purposes is currently an urgent task. One of these directions is the use of aluminum nanoparticles for molecular diagnostics, targeted delivery of drugs, the development of new pharmaceuticals. The action of aluminum chloride on the regulatory mechanisms of smooth and skeletal muscle contraction and also the effect of aluminum ions on the ATPase activity and superprecipitation of actomyosin of different types of muscles is discussed.

Creation of new biocompatible nanomaterials, which can exhibit the specific biological effects, is an important complex problem that requires the use of last accomplishments of biotechnology. The effect of pristine water-soluble fullerene C60 on ATPase activity and superprecipitation reaction of rabbit skeletal muscle natural actomyosin has been revealed, namely an increase of actomyosin superprecipitation and Mg2+, Ca(2+)- and K(+)-ATPase activity by fullerene was investigated. We conclude that this finding offers a real possibility for the regulation of contraction-relaxation of skeletal muscle with fullerene C60.

A comparative study of rabbit skeletal muscles oxide-modified actomyosin superprecipitation reaction in dependence on continuous and impulsive (2 ms) ultrasound regimens was studied. From the analyses of kinetic curves the effect of the value of superprecipitation (A(m) - A(0)), time t1/2, required for achievement of half of its value was determined, and the normalized maximal rate of this reaction V was also calculated. It is shown that the use of continuous ultrasound to oxide-modified actomyosin was associated with a significant decrease of superprecipitation relative to controls.

A comparative study of the effect of continuous and impulsive (2 ms) ultrasound regimes on actomyosin superprecipitation reaction of the rabbit skeletal muscles was carried out. From the obtained kinetic curves the value of superprecipitation (D(m) - D(00)), time t1/2, which required to achieve a half its value was determined, and the normalized maximal rate of this reaction V(n) was calculated as well. It is shown that continuous ultrasound with intensities 0.
