Abstract
Single sarcomeres were prepared from fresh rabbit myofibrils by digestion with a calcium-activated factor (CAF). The rabbit single sarcomere has functional properties quite similar to those of single sarcomeres obtained from chicken muscle by a usual method. Thus it was found that the single sarcomeres obtained by CAF digestion were useful as a muscle model, though they were not completely intact.Keywords
