Patent abstract

A distinction method is provided to distinguish catch capacity where myosin, a protein that constitutes muscles, or filaments containing myosin bind to actin due to the contribution of twitchin that constitutes thick filaments along with myosin, while certain tension is sustained. The catch capacity is distinguished by using synthetic thick filaments containing myosin and twitchin, which are obtained from an extract of the muscles with a predetermined high salt buffer solution, and a soluble protein fraction obtained from the suspension of the above-mentioned muscles.
