title: Comparative studies of contractile proteins from the skeletal and cardiac muscles of lower vertebrates.
abstract: The available evidence suggests that the properties of the contractile proteins from lower vertebrates are broadly similar to those found in skeletal and cardiac muscles of mammalian species. However, the proteins from ectotherms are generally more unstable on isolation.
