Abstract：
:Conventional fixation with glutaraldehyde fixatives at pH 7.4 did not preserve/promote thick filaments in Bufo smooth muscle. However, if pH was lowered to 6.0, thick filaments were present and addition of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) led to a greater number of thick filaments. Stretch alone had little effect on the presence of thiber seen. Calcium had little effect on the numbers of thick filaments, but it affected the appearance of the thick filaments. Low calcium (10(-7) M) caused a higher proportion of rod-shaped filaments, while in high calcium (10(-3) M) most thick filaments were ribbons. The great lability of the thick filaments in amphibian smooth muscles makes them ideal for studying factors which affect the appearance of thick filaments in smooth muscle, but it also raises the question of the degree of aggregation of myosin in the living cell.
