Abstract
The white muscle of fish and amphibia contain a group of closely related, low molecular weight parvalbumins which bind two calcium ions per protein molecule. Because of this distinguishing property, they have been designated muscle calcium binding proteins (MCBP) (1,6,13,14,16). As can be seen in Table I, which summarizes their properties, they are quite acidic and contain relatively high proportions of alanine and phenylalanine. In addition, they possess acetylated amino termini and are highly antigenic.
