The actomyosin and myosin of the squid at 3$0^{\circ}C$ showed the highest Vmax and the actomyosin and myosin of the clam at 35$^{\circ}C$ and HMM at $25^{\circ}C$ showed the highest Vmax the thermostability of myofibrillar proteins is changed greatly according to the difference of KCI concentration. The myofibrillar proteins of the clam showed a higher thermostability than the myofibrillar proteins of the squid. When 3% ethanol solution was added and heated myofibrillar proteins, denaturation was accelerated and it was shown that there was a difference between animals in the denaturation velocity.

In order to compare and examine the general characteristics of myofibrillar proteins which is an important protein source as a food resource and relates directly with muscle contraction, we have extracted the myofibrillar proteins from squid and clam. The ionic strength of myofibrillar proteins connected with Ca-ATPase activity, Mg-ATPase activity and EDTA-ATPase activity showed distinct differences between squid and clam. In the activity-pH curve, actomyosin of the clam had a weak biphasic response. In the low concentration of dioxane, myofibrillar proteins of the squid showed a sudden decrease in activity but myofibrillar proteins of the clam showed in increase in activity. Ethanol and metanol in low concentration caused myosin and HMM from the squid and clam to increase their activities. If we cause modification by NEM, under 10-6M concentration, the activity was increased but above 10-5M concentration, there was a sudden decrease in activity.

Myofibrillar proteins were prepared from red muscle and white muscle, and their thermostabilities were compared. Rate constants of inactivation of myofibrillar proteins were increased as the ionic strength of reaction mixture increased and also dielectric constant of reaction mixture decreased. Thermodynamic data forinactivation of myofibrillar proteins, such as $D-value,\;{\Delta}H^{\ddag},\;{\Delta}G{\ddag}\;and\;{\Delta}S^{\ddag$, revealed that thermostabilities of myofibrillar proteins from white muscle were higher than those from red muscle, and that myofibrillar proteins from chicken muscle were more heatlabile than from bovine muscle.
