Abstract

The protein arrays of the claw and abdominal muscles of the lobster Homarus americanus were examined by sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gel protein patterns revealed consistent differences in several major bands that could be correlated with the physiological properties of the muscle. Fast‐type muscle, independent of innervation, showed a common protein pattern distinct from the slow muscles, which had a common pattern of their own. These results suggest that functional properties of crustacean muscle fibers are expressed in their protein composition.

## Abstract Muscle fiber types were examined in lobsters using sarcomere length measurements. In the adult, the slender cutter claw was comprised of fast and slow fibers, while the broader crusher contained only slow fibers. In the juvenile lobster, both the cutter and crusher contained fast and sl
