## Abstract The reactivity of myosin to [^14^C]βlabeled Nβethylmaleimide ([^14^C] NEM) or to tritium was determined in functionally different frog muscles. The incorporation of [^14^C] NEM into myosin decreased during isotonic or isometric contractions, as compared to resting muscle. The cysteine r
X-ray diffraction patterns from frog sartorius muscle were recorded during steady shortening with various loads. The intensity of the third meridional reflection from the thick filament decreased on shortening to an extent proportional to the drop in tension. The intensity con'related more closely w
