The ATP dissociation of natural actomyosin from chicken breast and leg muscle at 0 and 168 hr postmortem was studied by ultracentrifugal and viscometric methods. Superprecipitation behavior and ATPase activities were also examined. The results demonstrate that postmortem aging of muscle has no effect on the dissociation of actin and myosin, and are incompatible with the hypothesis that the actin‐myosin interaction undergoes a “weakening” during postmortem aging.
