Summary. During the ageing of bovine muscle there is an increase in the solubility of the myofibrillar protein as tropomyosin and associated myofibrillar proteins become extractable with the Weber‐Edsall solution. This fact agrees with the concomitant structural changes believed to occur in the sarcomere.
