Abstract
IN a recent paper1 the following passages occur: ” Astbury finds that certain changes occur when wool is treated with steam. When myosin is exposed to steam similar changes are detected (sic). Astbury and Dickinson suggest that the myosin in muscle undergoes this change in the course of muscular activity”: and ” The change in myosin known to occur when muscle becomes active is therefore distinctly different from the change that Astbury and Dickinson suppose takes place”.
