## 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 physiol
Using the sucrose vaseline gap technique, experiments were carried out on isolated flog twitch muscle fibre to investigate the role of chloride ions in excitation-contraction coupling. In current clamp conditions, replacement of chloride ions by impermeant anions led to an increase of the amplitude
## 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
