Freezing and thawing of myosin with no alteration in ATPase activity

J Wikman-Coffelt et al. Prep Biochem. 1980.

Abstract

Myosin can be frozen in liquid nitrogen (-70 degrees C) and stored at this temperature for 5 months with no loss in K+, Ca2+, or actin + Mg2+ -stimulated ATPase activities. Furthermore, myosin can be refrozen and thawed in this manner for at least 5 consecutive times with no alteration in ATPase activity.
