In order to compare and examine the general characteristics of myofibrillar proteins which is an important protein source as a food resource and relates directly with muscle contraction, we have extracted the myofibrillar proteins from squid and clam. The ionic strength of myofibrillar proteins connected with Ca-ATPase activity, Mg-ATPase activity and EDTA-ATPase activity showed distinct differences between squid and clam. In the activity-pH curve, actomyosin of the clam had a weak biphasic response. In the low concentration of dioxane, myofibrillar proteins of the squid showed a sudden decrease in activity but myofibrillar proteins of the clam showed in increase in activity. Ethanol and metanol in low concentration caused myosin and HMM from the squid and clam to increase their activities. If we cause modification by NEM, under 10-6M concentration, the activity was increased but above 10-5M concentration, there was a sudden decrease in activity.

Myotibrillar ATPase activity, thermostability and composition of muscle protein were investigated to elucidate biochemical properties regard with rearing period and sex of olive flounder. Myofibrillar ATPase activity of male olive flounder reared for 6, 12 and 20 months was stronger than that of female one. $Mg^{2+}\;(+Ca^{2+})-ATPase$ activity of both female and male fish decreased with the elapse of rearing period, and the activity of male was higher than that of female far beyond the rearing periods. The high correlationship between the weight gain and myofibrillar ATPase activity was observed. The thor mostability of male myofibrillar protein was higher than that of female. Subunit composition of the myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein did not show difference between the both sex of the fish.

Myofibrillar proteins were prepared from red muscle and white muscle of fresh water fish and sea water fish, and their thermostabilities and effect of temperature on the myofibrillar ATPase activities were compared. Differences in temperature dependency of myofibrillar ATPase activities were found between two species. Thermodynamic data for inactivation of myofibrillar proteins, such as D value, Z value, $\Delta$ $H^{{\neq}}$, $\Delta$ $G^{{\neq}}$ and $\Delta$ $S^{\neq}$ revealed that thermostabilities of myofibrillar proteins from fresh water fish were higher than those from sea water fish, and that myofibrillar proteins from red muscle were more heat labile than those from white muscle.

Myofibril and actomyosin were prepared from red muscle and white muscle of fresh water fish and sea water fish, and their biochemical characteristics and SDS PAGE patterns of myofibril were compared. SDS PAGE analysis showed that electrophoretic patterns of myofibril were similar be tween white muscle and red muscle, while difference of 30kDa component of myofibril was detected between fresh water fish and sea water fish. When myofibril were treated with trypsin, difference in hydrolysis of heavy chain was observed between white muscle and red muscle. In activities of Ca ATPase, Mg ATPase, EDTA ATPase and ATPase activity pH curve, myofibrillar protein from fresh water fish showed higher specific activity than those from sea water fish.

To investigate on the biochemical characteristics of myofibrillar proteins between cold(pollack, salmon) and warm current fish (yellow corbina, shark), myofibrils and actomyosin were prepared, and their biological activities, effect of temperature on the myofibrillar ATPase activities and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic patterns of myofibrils were compared. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis showed that electrophoretic patterns of myofibril vary from fish to fish. Difference in KCl concentration dependency of myofibrillar ATPase activities and ATPase activity- pH curve were found among fish species. Myofibrillar proteins from cold current fish showed higher specific activity at low temperature $(5^{\circ}C-10^{\circ}C)$ than those from warm current fish.

In order to investigate the general characteristics of ATPase and ATPase thermostability between porcine white muscle and red muscle, myofibrillar proteins were prepared and compared their physicochemical characteristics. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analyses showed that a protein band of 30,000 daltons was detected noticeably in myofibril from red muscle, but negligibly in myofibril from white muscle. The noticeable differences were found between porcine white muscle and red muscle for the activities of EDTA-ATPase, Ca-ATPase and Mg-ATPase. Myofibrillar proteins from white muscle showed higher thermostability than those from red muscle. Thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy $({\Delta}H^#)$, entropy $({\Delta}S^#)$, etc., showed characteristic variations between porcine white muscle and red muscle.

The effects of divalant metal ions on the ATPase activity were studied by using my of ibrillar protein of rabbit (Chin-Chilla species) fed with vegetable oils. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The ATPase activity in myofibrillar protein of the is not significant to Rabbit exhibited a common biohapsic respnse, such as the ATPase activity is high at a lower ionic strength and low at a higher ionic strength. 2. The effect of EDTA on the ATPase activity of Myofibrillar protein extracted from Rabbit fed vegetable oils was tested by using various concentrations. The ATPase activity was inhibited from 0.2mM and over concentration of EDTA. 3.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of characteristics of myofibrillar protein for the vacuum chilled, the air frozen or the rechilled Holstein beef loin. The vacuum chilled beef was stored at 1$^{\circ}C$ and the air frozen beef was stored at -20$^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. The rechilled beef was restored for 3 days at 1$^{\circ}C$ by using the vacuum chilled or the air frozen beef. Myofibrillar protein extractability, 30,000 dalton component content and Mg-ATP ase activity for the vacuum chilled beef were higher than those of the air frozen beef. Each parameters increased significantly for the vacuum chilled beef after the 20 days storage, but there was no significant difference for the vacuum chilled beef after the 20 days storage, but there was no significant difference for the air frozen beef during the 60 days storage. By the rechilling process, myofibrillar protein extractability of the vacuum chilled and the frozen beef were not significant difference. The 30,000 dalton component of the vacuum chilled beef was showed not significant increment by rechilling, but the frozen beef was showed significant increment by rechilling. The Mg-ATPase activity of myofibrillar protein of the vacuum chilled beef was not changes by rechilling, but the frozen beef after the 20 days storage was significant increment by rechilling.
